Bulletin: Shy people thrown bodily off of USENET! Effective whenever the netgods decide to implement the "new USENET" structure, net.wobegon is officially and forever destroyed. Furthermore, unlike almost all other newsgroups, net.wobegon is NOT being replaced. We're supposed to move into "rec.music.misc" along with the discussions on the "residents" and Gilels. The fact of this wanton destruction of shy person's property was stated in an "after the fact" manner, i.e. it was said "this is what will be, there's no appeal, we don't give a goddamn, and we didn't ask for your opinion anyhow." For places to send your shy protests, see net.news.group for the last week. -- TEDDY BEARS UNITE! SAVE YOUR FUR TODAY!

[] Say, jj, do us shy persons have any alternatives? real alternatives? For example, some shy persons must know an awful lot about usenet. Maybe almost as much as the young stormtroopers who are telling everyone what they will and will not read in the future, but are apparently unable to make their existing network work properly. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!"
