The venerable newsreader trn has traditionally warned users that
posting an article will cost the net "hundreds if not thousands of
dollars" when seeking confirmation before posting.

I couldn't prevent myself posting this sig I saw recently:
In keeping with current net realities TRN will be modified to give the
following warning before you post-
>This program posts news to thousands of spammers throughout the entire
>civilized world. The resulting spam you will receive will cost the
>net hundreds if not thousands of dollars to send to you. Please be
>sure you know what you are doing.
How about it, Wayne? :-)
