Does BIFF = imposter? Who created this newsgroup? We have both alt.fan.biff and alt.fan.BIFF. The latter would be more to his liking since he only has a Teletype model 33 as his network connection. Maybe that's why he's implicitly vengeful. We can't say it's explicit, can we now? Not only does he have his very own newsgroup but he may even wreak havoc on mailing lists. For those with retribution in mind, there is the following address: biff@zaphod.cs.ohio-state.edu BEWARE: I tried replying once and had mailer troubles the next couple of days (He might even be innocent, but then again ...) -- Ralph P. Sobek Disclaimer: The above ruminations are my own. ralph@laas.fr Addresses are ordered by importance. ralph@laas.uucp, or ...!uunet!laas!ralph If all else fails, try: sobek@eclair.Berkeley.EDU =============================================================================== Reliable software should kill people reliably! -Andy Mickel, Pascal News #13,78
