trust me, it's ok, he was using '32-bit AOL' to post his message, so EVERYONE but you realized that he was talking about garbage anyway. maybe AOL64 will have a clue(tm) built in. an appeal to listmembers: listmembers, can't we make this list 'request for access'? iLoV2HaCk and his AOL ilk are getting a little too 'elite' and 'k-rad' for me. pipebombs, posters, spooks, music, what the hell is happening to this list? I know that I mainly lurk, but don't you think that having to request to join this list may filter out the worst of the AOL (et al) newbies? they obviously cannot get a clue(tm) and continue to cause a landslide of off-topic (albeit funny) posts that ridicule them, and keep this list awash in non-cypherpunkish dialogue. oh, and I am also sorry for perpetuating this thread. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- james 'keith' thomson <jkthomson@bigfoot.com> www.bigfoot.com/~ceildh jkthomson:C181 991A 405C EAFB 2C46 79B5 B1DC DB78 8196 122D [06.07.98] ceildh :1D79 59AF ED75 5945 6003 8240 DA34 ACCA 9DE4 6BC9 [05.14.98] ICQ:746241 <keys> at pgp.mit.edu ...and former sysop of tnbnog BBS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The people to worry about are not those who openly disagree with you, but those who disagree with you who are too cowardly to let you know. =======================================================================
