OH NO ! Just send a _polite_ mail to postmaster@unm.edu informing
him/her of the posting and append it to the mail. If the postmaster
is worth his/her salt s/he will patiently explain the rules of
Usenet to dano@hydra.unm.edu or dano@unm.edu, preferably with
a read hot branding iron. If that does _not_ work, _then_ one may
consider using the well-known education methods of the Usenet.

On the other hand maybe someone used dano@hydra.unm.edu's account
illegitimately ? We recently had a case in germany when a well known
biff tried to fake the address of the poster in a posting which
was meant to incite people to send hate-mail to the faked address.
Yes, H. B. a.k.a. l..., this means _you_ .
