6.19.1.  Usage of Injector-Info-parameters

   The purpose of these parameters is to enable the injecting agent to
   make assertions about the origin of the article, in fulfilment of its
   responsibilities towards the rest of the network as set out in
   section 8.2.

   An injecting agent MUST NOT include any Injector-Info-parameter
   unless it has positive evidence of its correctness. An injecting
   agent MAY also include extension-parameters with x-attributes which
   will assist in identifying the origin of the article.

    The purpose of these parameters is to enable the injecting agent to
    make assertions about the origin of the article, in fulfilment of its
    responsibilities towards the rest of the network as set out in
-   section 8.2.  These assertions can then be utilized as follows:
-
-   1. To enable the administrator of the injecting agent to respond to
-      complaints and queries concerning the article. For this purpose,
-      the parameters included SHOULD be sufficient to enable the
-      administrator to identify its true origin (which parameters are
-      best suited to this purpose will vary with the nature of the
-      injecting site and of its relationship to the posters who use it -
-      there is no benefit in including parameters which contribute
-      nothing to this aim).  An administrator MAY, with those parameters
-      where the syntax so allows, use cryptic notations interpretable
-      only by himself if he considers it appropriate to protect the
-      privacy of that origin.
-
-   2. To enable relaying, serving and reading agents to recognize
-      articles from origins which they might wish to reject, divert, or
-      otherwise handle specially, for reasons of site policy.
-
-   3. To enable the timely identification of spews of articles arising
-      from a common origin.

-      NOTE: Administrators of injecting agents can choose which
-      selection of the following parameters best enables them to fulfil
-      their responsibilities.  Some of these parameters identify the
-      source of the article explicitly whereas others do so indirectly,
-      thus affording more privacy to posters who value their anonymity,
-      but also making harder the tracking of malicious disruption of the
-      network, especially so if the administrators choose not to
-      cooperate.  There is thus a balance to be struck between the needs
-      of privacy on the one hand and the good order of Usenet on the
-      other, and administrators need to be aware of this when
-      formulating their policies.
