The following were received here at Zorch today. I have left the headers intact. Obviously this is someone's idea of an April Fool's joke. I would appreciate any evidence that anyone can supply me of who forged these. Note that the originating host's name is mispelled in the Path: header. |Path: zorch!vsi1!ames!elroy.jpl.nasa.gov!sdd.hp.com!news.cs.indiana.edu!usccc!aludrah.usc.edu!carasso |From: carasso@aludra.usc.edu (Roger RDC Carasso) |Newsgroups: talk.bizarre.ctl |Subject: newgroup comp.society.folklore moderated |Message-ID: <I626I@chaph.usc.edu> |Date: 1 Apr 91 0:00:00 GMT |Control: newgroup talk.bizarre moderated |Followup-To: talk.bizarre |Organization: GOOD: flowers, peace, sunshine; BAD: NUCLEAR WAR, EVIL |Distribution: talk |Lines: 8 |Approved: silver@xrtll.UUCP (Hi Ho Silver) |Nntp-Posting-Host: aludra.usc.edu |Originator: carasso@aludra.usc.edu | |talk.bizarre has gotten totally out of control.

Please update your "mailpaths" file. | |-- |RDC As of this writing two news sites have honored the control message, eastapps.East.Sun.COM and mech.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp. Please *do not* add xanthian@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG for talk.bizarre to your mailpaths file. Kent is not set up to moderate a group, and any postings forwarded to him for posting will be lost. Material for news.software.b: I highly recommend getting one of the several third-party newgroup/rmgroup scripts (C News sites) or setting the appropriate #defines in B News. I look forward to the day when Henry and Geoff provide a more controlled newgroup/rmgroup suite for C News. Talk.bizarre: Contact your site news administrator and make sure that he/she understands that talk.bizarre is not moderated, and least of all by Kent. I can be reached at 408 285 5762 between 9AM and 5PM (at least) Pacific Time. -- Scott Hazen Mueller | scott@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG or (ames|pyramid|vsi1)!zorch!scott SF-Bay.ORG is a Bay Area Usenet Domain | Mail fusion-request@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG Park; write for information on joining | for emailed sci.physics.fusion digests SF-Bay Public-Access Unix 408-996-7358/61/78/86 login newuser password public
