12/28 If you want to add to the motd add to the motd. Don't delete other
people's stuff unless you're deleting the old threads.
\_ And take pitty on Eric's motd archive. The more you re-add and
re-delete things the faster it grows.
\_ He's got a disk space quota and access to gzip like the rest of
us. If the motd archive is so important, root can run one.
\_ I occasionally rotate out and compress the motd. I'll move
it to /csua/tmp or something or ask root either for a quota
exception or to take it over, if I need to. For now its
not an issue. -ERic
\_ ok, I'm a motd newbie... where is this magical archive of which
you speak?
\_ Most motd content gets thrown into /dev/null. You might
want to try looking there.
\_ <JOKE>Well, that's rude.</JOKE> The magical motd
archive is in ~mehlhaff/tmp/motd,v.
\_ I'm always happy to see my stuff selectively purged because someone
else disagrees with me and is too stupid to refute anything I say.
\_ I dunno man -- maybe they're just deleting your stuff to make
you OVERCONFIDENT, allowing them to more easily EXPLOIT your
WEAKNESSES.
\_ Yeah, I feel so exploited and weak when they do that.
Uh huh. No, actually, it shows their intellectual failings.
Censorship is the same everywhere. Suppress that with
which you disagree if you've nothing intelligent to say in
opposition.
\_ unless what you have to say is so vacuous and stupid
that the space it consumes is worth more than the
'intellectual price' of flushing you. if it makes you
feel good about yourself to brag on the motd about how
intellecutally challenging and insightful your every
posted brain-fart is, then go for it. Don't let
trifles like reality get in the way of your self-image.
\_ No, actually, it's censorship. Nice attempt to drag
me into your trollish childish personal little
flamefest but I'm not biting. Cookie, troll. If
what I had to say was so worthless then it would be
ignored or ridiculed like the rest of the motd
nonsense does, not struck. Funny how you can so
easily and readily judge what's been censored
without having the slightest clue what it might have
been. Yeah, it must have been vacuous and stupid
because you said so. I trust you.
\_ Yeah, it's shameless, intellectually dishonest and
corwardly. |
