[net.bizarre] Real life

robertsl@stolaf.UUCP (Scary Larry) (07/23/85)

My philosophy of net.bizarre is that it is for strange but true real life
stuff.  This is a REAL posting from net.news.newsite (slightly edited.)

Amazing.

Willingness (or lack thereof) to connect to new sites that
want to join usenet.  If you run uucp, tell if new sites can
call you, if you will poll them, what your policy is.
If on the arpanet, are you willing to forward news on to new
sites by establishing an arpanet usenet connection?

The children have not decided on this yet.

Everyone should have a philosophy of net.bizarre. Anyone who doesn't
should be run over by a Sherman tank. This is what a smiley face looks
like when it's been run over by a Sherman tank:

                        _.._~

Strange but true.
