Forgive me if this one was posted once long ago, but when I finished reading backlogged news after coming back from a five-day vacation, I thought of the following takeoff from an old Alka-Seltzer commercial: USENET: I can't believe I read the WHO-O-O-OLE THING!! -- Rich Wales UCLA Computer Science Department 3531 Boelter Hall // Los Angeles, CA 90024 // (213) 825-5683 ARPA: wales@UCLA-LOCUS.ARPA UUCP: ...!{cepu,ihnp4,trwspp,ucbvax}!ucla-cs!wales

I can't resist adding to the noise ... In the vein of "a million monkeys on a million typewriters will eventually produce Shakespeare's works", I propose a Usenet slogan of "a million monkeys on a million typewriters will immediately produce Usenet". Or how about "Usenet: it's not a job, it's not an adventure, it's 77 million articles a month". Bill Dietrich houxj!wapd
