If you'll examine the header for  this  article  (generated  with
notes) you will find that it conforms completely to the "Standard 
for  Interchange  of  USENET  Messages",  and  that it contains a
"References:" line which refers to  your  own  article  [assuming
that  there  isn't  an  'A'  news  site  between  yours and mine,
something not under my control].  You might also notice  that  'a
bunch of junk' was not inserted into the body of the article.
