Well it was bound to happen that Russia has joined Usenet. If you look at the internet address of the next posting you will see that it has the subdomain SU (Soviet Union). It is just a pity that the first posting was to EUNET.JOKES cos it makes you wonder if it really is a joke... but I think not for the path is coming into FUUG which is the Finnish Unix Users Group. The subject matter is also "topical" and "Russian". I would not be surprised that hq was a short for for "headquarters":-) Anyway I think it is an interesting enough post about "telestrokia" (I think I will copyright that word) to post it here on BIONAUT. Check it out for yourselves. -=ROB=- ******************* EXTRACT ************************** >X-NEWS: opmvax eunet.jokes: 601Newsgroups: eunet.jokes >Path: funic!fuug!demos!avg >From: avg@hq.demos.su (Vadim G.
