<> 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!
