29 I just read a post I thought was abusive, either towards me or another person. What can I do about it? (Alt.Tv.Xena)

You do have a couple of options here. You can attempt to reason
with the poster concerned, in the hope of their changing the tone
of their posts. You are better off doing this via e-mail. You
can also do this via the newsgroup. But if you do, you might be
risking a "Flame War" breaking out, or making one in progress
worse.

Another option is to forward the entire post, complete with it's
headers to the abuse department of the posters ISP. You should
point out what you feel is abusive about the post, but NOT
recommend a course of action. You can be accused of attempting
to commit a 'Denial of Service' attack otherwise.
