	Aw, com' on!

		If the USSR really had a VAX (after recent
	news reports I wont say they don't) do you think they
	would broadcast their presence on USENET???   Does
	anyone know where nsavax is????   You are just toooooo
	paranoid!!!

		The article was obviously a prank, from the
	subject header on down.  The thing that bothers me
	are the people who say things like '[using the network
	as a reliable source of information.]'   HAH.

		When any bozo who can type/read can pour
	his inner most heartfelt insainites at a moments notice
	onto the desks of tens of thousands of the free worlds
	most technologically advanced profressionals and
	academics, and you call it RELIABLE!!!!!!    Gime
	a break!   Where's the beef!    Hey, like you know!
	Don't take this thing so seriously, are you may wind
	up hanging from the end of a frayed rope (or nerve.)

Some ten years or so ago, an American president committed such
stupefying blunders that he finally resigned from office.

At that time, and apparently even in his most recent interviews,
his personality might still be described as humorless.

April Fool's Day is, admittedly, an American institution, but it
seems to this writer that one desirable side effect of the net
is that national peculiarities may provoke the thought of people
in other nations.

I very much enjoyed what was so obviously humorous that high school
kids got the joke right away...

...for the sour pusses out their, let me take a line from
Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer - Lighten up!

Regards - Carl
