    Subject: Re: USENET line eater?
    Okay, everybody on USENET seems to be convinced that there
    exists a bug somewhere which causes the first lines of
    articles to disappear.  I myself have never noticed any
    mutilated articles on the net.  Does anyone know whether
    the dreaded line-eater really exists?

    .......

Tales of "line-eaters" and crocodiles in the sewers will always have a
place in society. Lets not try an shatter any myths. Long live "big foot"
and the eight foot wombat!
