Something seems to have happened to an article on its way here....

I somehow doubt this is what the author intended to write. It even
falls short of the stated line count (50)! Any ideas what happened? I
sure don't recognize any of the junk; looks like part of someone's
connection database....

I poked around in our news files looking for some traces, but I don't find much. It's almost 100 articles later in our seq file, and the article has expired locally. It has also expired from cbosgd, which suggests (again) that the article was quite old. How long ago did it show up? -- Karl Kleinpaste

The mangled version is quoted above (Karl didn't quote it, I took the liberty of adding it for those who missed my original posting). > Ouch, yes, that's a mangled article all right.

Well, here are the relevant pieces of a stat on the file in /u2/spool/news/net/lang/c [the news spool directory for net.lang.c]: 3085: [device, I-number, permissions, #-links, and owner deleted] Size: 1387 Atime: Wed Aug 6 00:16:31 1986 Mtime: Mon Jul 28 03:29:24 1986 Ctime: Mon Jul 28 03:29:32 1986 [I/O blocksize and #-blocks deleted] To give you an idea how long it took to get here, you can either notice that the dates on the article are Date: 7 Jul 86 18:37:02 GMT Posted: Mon Jul 7 14:37:02 1986 or you can figure that I am posting this reply about ten minutes after reading your reply, so figure from when you posted.... Yiiii! I just noticed this means we have TWO WEEKS delay getting news from the real world to us! On the other hand, the turnaround was only a week or so from my posting to my reading your reply. I'm confused. -- der Mouse USA: {ihnp4,decvax,akgua,utzoo,etc}!utcsri!mcgill-vision!mouse think!mosart!mcgill-vision!mouse Europe: mcvax!decvax!utcsri!mcgill-vision!mouse ARPAnet: utcsri!mcgill-vision!mouse@uw-beaver.arpa "Come with me a few minutes, mortal, and we shall talk." - Thanatos (Piers Anthony's Bearing an Hourglass)
