[comp.sys.amiga.introduction] Apology--Fish Disks & Viruses

zz96sr@sdacs.ucsd.edu (Steve Rusk) (03/16/91)

     Excuse me while I get my foot out of my mouth--er--keyboard.  One of
the rules of net usage is not to post when angry.  I broke the rule.
     I apologize to Fred Fish (is he real?), fellow Amiganites, Denise,
Paula, and Agnus.
     For those of you who offered to buy my Amiga, sorry, but I think I'll
keep it.  Going to check out Flight Simulator software this weekend.
     I left myself wide-open for flames; mercifully, readers of this
group held their fire.  As one respodent pointed out, postings like mine
can cause ugly rumors.  A wiser man than myself.
     Dan Barrett's analysis of why icons started popping up was correct.
The root directory of DH0: contained the bogus .info files.

This should go onto the Frequently Asked Questions list.

Q: Is Fred Fish a real person?

A: If he isn't, he's one hell of a good AI program.  He keeps sending
e-mail to me, and he seems intelligent.


Q: Is his name REALLY "Fred Fish?"

A: Yes, although it's been said that it should be spelled "Fred <><."

>fellow Amiganites,

I believe "Amigoids" rolls off the tongue better.  Besides,
"Amiganite" is too close to "Reaganite."

>Denise,
>Paula, and Agnus.

Don't apologize to them.  They're evil conspirators.
