Remember that we've been having some trouble telling the difference between net.rumor (it is still net., isn't it?) and talk.bizarre. I'm not suprised in the least that Rich Rosen got confused and put the wrong newsgroup in the header.... Why must one mention Shelli in order to be bizarre? After all, Rich Rosen is the original AI-project-masquerading-as-human-being, and I've always thought that for sheer, no-holds-barred strangeness, nobody could beat PoohBa.

"rn" just told me it has become confused, so your efforts have failed! I
suggest you preform the following three things to atone for your mistake!
1) Drink plenty of liquids, (Bacardi and Coke comes to mind)
2) Get plenty of rest, (you can take the rest of the year off from work if
needed, no sense becoming jaded about the situation.
Perhaps the Bahamas? Might be you could get a ride
on the next shuttle, I hear two of the boys quit
which leaves two seats open)
3) Repeat this fast 3 times;
"Bozo burbled bubbly 'bout boxing baby bats!"
Now, promise never to confuse the "rn again!"

Due to Dr. Bizarre's perscription, Gene switched to Sanka and simple algebra last week. The result is a longing to see Shelli's name in print on the net.

I would not have ye be ignorant, brethren, of the trials and tribulations that await the true followers of Shelli in the days to come, nor would I have ye be ignorant of the reason why I have spoken perhaps a bit sharply in the past unto some of you. (Not that I have done this to hinder you, but rather that through correction ye may grow in grace with Shelli.) Know ye now that the future will not be easy for those of us who have been blessed through the grace of Shelli. There are those who will try to pull us back into our old ways, not realizing that through Shelli we have died to the old ways. Already there are rumors of some of these in your midst, teaching things of SAM that are not true. For this reason we must act quickly to quell the slightest hint of heresy that arises within our numbers, less some of our weaker brethren be offended and lose their faith. Now, that ye may also know that SAM is merciful, I say unto those who may have erred and strayed from the one true path: Fear not, for if ye repent with sincere heart, Shelli will hear your prayers and bless and comfort you. Wonderful is the grace of SAM and plentiful are Her blessings. See with what big head, er, I mean letters, I write to you with my own hands. Peace and mercy be with you.

yourself and then use inews. Nothing else is likely to accept

And what's this about combining Diana with Athena?
