<Smile> Certainly I can handle the.effects.on.my.psyche, Trish.
*Your* posting contained intellectual content, something lacking in
the posting to which you quote my response. Therefore, they aren't in
the same category. And aren't.the.dots.a.nice.inside.joke?
By the way, I'm curious. What does the dot over the 'o' in your last
name signify? Is it a diacritical mark?

It's just that psi powers being what they arn't, some machines are getting the group before it exists. After all, you all have noticed how the net violates causality (how many times do you have to wait to read the original note when you already have 10 followups? Hmmm?).

It might as well be me: Netnews is a privilege not a right. The privately owned conglomerates which own us as well could rightly restrict the news to absolute zero and we should then be grateful. They are our masters and betters and have the right - nay, the responsibility to restrict the news and if you dont like it, you're not only ungrateful but mentally disturbed as well, have never had to meet a payroll, are unaware of the enormous costs borne cheerfully by the aforementioned conglomerates solely bcause the love us (unworthy though we be), and don't live in the real world. This is NOT a free speech issue (as would be the issue of AT&T not charging for phone calls) but a free enterprise issue. You're perfectly able and welcome to work/live elsewhere and create your own news network with your own policies. Groups like rec.psi should never have existed in the first place: first because they're "rec" which means unserious (i.e. never had to meet a payroll) and second because they're "psi" which means unscientific. There. It's been said. Now everyone get back to work. NOW!!! I mean it!! I'm not kidding!! -- Absloute knowledge means never having to change your .signature jim (uunet!actnyc!jsb)
