[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] This net is worth a MILLION BUCKS : Thanks to all the powers that be!

ia4@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu (Imran Anwar) (01/14/91)

This is just a personal opinion and expression of thanks...to everyone associ-
ated with the net.  The people who make it possible, the people who manage it,
and all out there who respond to others' questions.

I have no hesitation in saying that this net is worth a million bucks to me.
Thanks to EVERYONE who responds to questions, offers suggestions, and even
gives opinions.

Big Brother stands no chance if this "brotherhood" of the net stays active!

Imran, 

   I don't know how to break this to you bud....but Big Brother runs this net.

Your email address has been registered and cross references to your name will
be made to all appropriate state and federal agencies.

You will be tracked down, caught and executed for displaying any kind of
emotion above and beyond those exhibited by your model of net-noid. 

Your countdown has been initiated.

Escape is impossible. 

Mercy is out of the question.

Please comply without any incident and you will be unplugged quickly and
mercifully. 

If you attempt to escape, you will be forced to suffer from withdrawal pains
and 3 weeks of messages with only 4 bits active. 

Then you will be discharged like those weak American Ni-Cad girley batteries,
and tossed aside carelessly into one of our overcrowded dumps, out of reach of
any merciful recycling center.

Because scrap were you scraped from, and unto scrap you will return.


Time to termination:  14 hours, 23 minutes, 16 seconds (give or take a few
minutes due to govt. bureaucracy and those long lights just down the street
from your home.  Nevertheless, a black car filled with sunglass clad agents
will reach your home.  




Now, for the rest of you.  Any more outbursts of thanks, joy, happiness or any
derivative thereof will be dealt with in a likewise manner.  Lawyers can't
help you, we've paid them all off.  And if we can't pay them off, we execute
them too. :-)
