It's all my fault. I was showing a guy at work how to post an article rather than follow one up, because he was getting nasty mail about his articles about the "AT&T calander" program in news.groups. So I quickly posted the following message to talk.bizarre (I didnt really want bunches of "we received your article" from a TEST group): "I propose the newsfroup rec.fucking" And two things happened. First, "froup" caught on. Like wildfire. Hell, it was a typo, but I was too embarrassed to admit it. Second, it led to a discussion that ultimatly led to the creation of alt.sex. So blame me Karl, it's all my fault. Froup. Honestly. I almost believe some of these people would wear their underwear on the outside if I said it was a good idea. And I must say I'm very disappointed that alt.sex was formed, i said REC.FUCKING, not alt.sex. Hell, if I wanted alt.sex I could have just gone and created it, no vote, no bullshit. I figured any site too spineless to carry rec.fucking wouldnt be making a significant contribution to that group anyway. Just like the way talk.bizarre REALLY REALLY REALLY misses Jim Sitek. -- Remember me. Toggle my taco. richard@gryphon.CTS.COM rutgers!marque!gryphon!richard
