3/22    Hey Tom, do you always delete a thread in which you do something
        stupid at the end?
               \_ I have caught tom deleting threads that make people or
                  ideas he doesn't like look good.  Try it out!
                  \_ Prove it.     -mice
                     \_ It isn't hard to keep track of the motd, who edits it,
                        the changes afterwards, etc, etc.  To say "Prove it"
                        is to show your lack of scripting fu.  I spent all of
                        \_ Nah, it has more to do with the fact that I don't
                           have an axe to grind, and hence, is not worth
                           the time or effort.  Nice try, though.    -mice
                        2 minutes writing and testing 2 or 3 simple scripts to
                        keep track.  Is it provable in a court of law?  No, of
                        course not and you know it's not because everything
                        here is untracked text.  Anyone can make their own logs
                        say anything.  Write your own scripts and follow a few
                        hot button threads for yourself and see what happens.
                        \_ better yet, just use the phrase " fragile-ego
                           dickhead sysadmin."  i predict this thread
                           will combust in less than .5 hours now.
        \_ if you're referring to the deusberg thread, I didn't delete it,
           and the only stupid thing I did was allow myself to be trolled
           by someone who thinks the stars might be sentient beings because
           we can't prove otherwise.  -tom
           \_ You realize tom, that I added NOTHING to that thread, right?
                -- ilyas
           \_ You weren't trolled.  It was a real topic of real interest.  You
              stepped in blaring Tom's One True Holy Truth as usual and got
              put in your place, as usual.  That's not trolling.  That's what
              we call looking stupid.  Don't worry, no one thinks any less of
              you for it.  It's only the motd.  We still like you, Tom.
                \_ gee, more anonymous insults.  coward.  -tom
                   \_ Why would anyone insult you?
        \_ can someone repost the deusberg thread?

        [Restored by request even though I think the thread had it's day]
                             its.  dude, you need to take e190. _/
