I don't know what to think any more. My wife is telling me that I'm letting USENET be much too big a part of my life. Folks, all I'm trying to do is make it right, to make it correct, so we won't have any big problems and the net, as we know it, does not cease to exist. Maybe my wife is right, and maybe I do need to spend some time away from the net to get some perspective. I just don't know. I don't think I can judge this properly. So why don't we have a vote! The issue to be voted on is "Should Peter da Silva leave USENET?" Send me your votes, and I will count them. If I get 100 more yes votes than no votes, then I will leave USENET for good. For best results, use the mail program on your computer, not the news software. -- `-_-' Peter da Silva <peter@ficc.uu.net> <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>. 'U` -------------- +1 713 274 5180.

I think we should vote on the following: "Should Peter da Silva leave his wife?" 8-) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | kim @beowulf.UCSD.EDU (Home of the Garden Weasles) | | "...

Have you tried giving your wife a network feed?

And if he can't figure it out for himself, he can just sit there and think about it until he drools or his wife beats all his computer equipment to death with a baseball bat, whichever comes first. (Sci.aquaria was the last straw, I think, the one that snapped the man's mind, sent him into a spin. Oh, Richard, you sly dog, you smoked them out on this one: "Excuse me, sir, we're conducting an ontological exercise. It concerns whether you take the net too fucking seriously, and if you do, we've got something here that's going to drive you absolutely batshit." Fiend. Remorseless fiend. I wish I'd thought of it.) Don't take a vote, Peter. Get a clue. Tom Maddox UUCP: ...{ucf-cs|gatech!uflorida}!novavax!maddoxt Internet: novavax!maddox@bikini.cis.ufl.edu
