The line-eater seems to be alive and living in Ontario (more specificly, in Toronto and/or Waterloo.) We recently received the following Article 920 in rec.humor.funny (moderated): Path: dciem!utzoo!utgpu!watmath!looking!funny-request From: NIGHTDIVER@genie.com (Mel) Newsgroups: rec.humor.funny Subject: The Great Gonzo Keywords: sexual, chuckle Message-ID: <35757@looking.on.ca> Date: 18 Oct 89 23:30:08 GMT Sender: funny@looking.on.ca Lines: 32 Approved: funny@looking.on.ca honeymoon. Walking down 42nd Street they saw a sign advertising "The Great Gonzo" outside a theater and decided to give the show a try. [etc.] The first bit of the file seems to be missing as is characteristic of the line-eater. Could the admins at the sites in the above Path check to see whether this article arrived at their site complete. I can't believe that Brad would post half a joke :-) -- Tim Pointing, DCIEM {decvax,attcan,watmath,...}!utzoo!dciem!tim uunet!csri.toronto.edu!dciem!tim or nrcaer!dciem!tim tim%ben@zorac.dciem.dnd.ca or tim@dretor.dciem.dnd.ca

We recently received the following... I think the problem is most likely to be at "looking" itself. The joke is mangled at utzoo, so it's not dciem that did it. Utzoo and utgpu both run C News, which has never had the line-eater bug, and I'm fairly sure watmath does too. -- A bit of tolerance is worth a | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology megabyte of flaming. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu

We recently received the following It's that way on watmath. RJ? Brad? The one on watmath came directly from looking. I really doubt its the line-eater bug. Ive been taking care of news at UW for years and never had it occur before. Its more likely that watmath burped when its filesystem filled up which has happened a few times recently. -rj
