>cc:  INTERNET ABUSE -- Ed Conrad Warned

I have just received a stern letter of warning from the International
Internet Commission (IIC) about my posting showing a picture
of a Smithsonian staff member in an uncompromising situation.

For that, I sincerely apologize and it has been removed from the
Internet.

Meanwhile, I have been instructed to apologize to anyone I may have
offended, especially the Smithsonian Institution, the University of
California (at Berkeley), Penn State University and the American
Association of Physical Anthropologists.

A copy of the commission's letter follows:

> Dear Mr. Conrad:

> Please be advised that we here at the International Internet
> Commission have been quite aware of your recent erratic

> It disturbs us greatly.

> It has come to our attention that you have just posted what you

>
> Members of the board are upset because they feel that

> on the reputation of the IIC.
>
> You are hereby directed to remove that particular photo and replace
