[net.astro] "Stardate" on the net

riddle@ut-sally.UUCP (Prentiss Riddle) (02/09/84)

Do any of you net.astro readers happen to listen to public radio
stations which broadcast UT's syndicated astronomy program "Stardate"?
Well, I just found out something today:  "Stardate"'s script writer,
Deborah Byrd, is on the net.  You can send fan mail to her at:

	...{ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!utastro!dipper.

Those of us here at UT will, as of today, no longer need to be awake
and aware at certain times of the day in order to keep up with the
program.  We can now read the daily scripts on a special local
newsgroup, ut.stardate .  (Thanks to Charles Sandel (utastro!charles)
for creating it!)

I set a message to Deborah Byrd, the script writer of "stardate"
and suggested she post it to net.astro, so everyone reading this
newsgroup could share the scripts.  They really are very interesting
and cover a broad spectrum of topics.  I hope she takes up my suggestion.

Well, actually, the idea was to try out stardate as ut.stardate
for a while to give the writer a chance to get used to USENET
and then to eventually propose net.astro.stardate.  Little did
Charles and I know there would be such immediate demand....
