I just got mail from T. W. Wells telling me that the call for votes on
news.groups.ficc was a forgery. I went back into the news/groups directory
and did a thorough search for the offending article and I couldn't find
it. This is really peculiar and disturbing. I can access almost all the
articles between Feb.14 and Feb.19 save one.

Wells the body of the article as it reached UCLA, but it is no longer available here, even though its neighbors are. -------- Peter Montgomery pmontgom@MATH.UCLA.EDU Department of Mathematics, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90024

The article was posted to news.announce.newgroups and was not approved by me (the moderator). Therefore I canceled it. -- Eliot Lear [lear@TURBO.BIO.NET]

This article that appeared in news.groups is a nice bit of forgery. To whoever perpetrated this: great prank :-)). Now that you've dazzled us with your brilliance at forgery, bugger off you bleeding low life! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article 16525 of news.groups: Path: amelia!eos!ames!think!samsung!cs.utexas.edu!uunet!amelia!prabhu From: prabhu@amelia.nas.nasa.gov (Dinesh K.

Is seems the building in which I work is haunted and there are ghosts of dead programmers killed when a big power supply exploded. They inhabit this building and remove articles every now and then. At first I didn't believe this, but I have the evidence in front of me. Pretty spooky. I may have to work someplace else. I do not think it is right to make people work with ghosts of dead programmers. Again, thanks. -- Dinesh K. Prabhu, Eloret Institute, M/S 230-2 NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA-94035.
