From: JeffRelf.F-M.FM on 3 May 2010 23:40 <PRE> For the record, I'm in agreement with most everything Host John ( socks and all ) and Hachiroku have said in <A hRef="http://groups.google.com/group/alt.free.newsservers/index/browse_frm/thread/016614e008f8c410?_done=%2Fgroup%2Falt.free.newsservers%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F016614e008f8c410%3Fscoring%3Dd%26&scoring=d&">this thread</A>. You ( Aratzio ) are all worked up over what ? I've no idea. I had a Usenet account in 1986 ( uucp ) but was too busy with work and family life to use it. After two kids, I was done but my ( then ) wife wasn't; so, in 1988, she divorced me to marry a man who'd give her more kids. In 1991, I quit dating and started posting. Personally, I prefer Usenet over work, women and kids. Judging by your endless posts, I suspect you feel the same.

Ah, yes...uucp. I had forgotten that that was what Usenet was called in the beginning. Unix-to-Unix Copy Protocol. And you had to actually WAIT for the messages to propegate, sometimes hours or more before the packets got pushed along. But...But...I was on a VAX! We were running VMS, not UNIX! ;) And the other point was, in order to access Usenet, my account was traceable. Do you know how weak the security is on VMS? I would open another terminal, and then CTRL-C and get the $, and name the process HAX-VAX. But, it seems poor old Aratzio is "right". It wasn't actually *called* "Usenet", was it? |
