4/8     Can you guys PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave messages on for at least
        12 hours before deleting them? I don't poll motd at work every
        hour so I miss some of the posts, and I don't like to use mehlhaff's
        user unfriendly rcs archive. Thanks.
        \_ what's user-unfriendly about vi?
        \_ If every worthless troll was left up for 12 hours, the motd
           would be 50 pages long. Do you really want that?
           \_ I think it'd be more like 20 pages, and yes, I want that. -!op
              \_ i also want that. so do a lot of people. censors are basically
                 bad people, and are a minority...just like in society at
                 large.
                 \_ motd archives exist.  just do a restore after the
                    censors delete.  i do for threads i care about.
                    \_ no one should have to "just do a restore" to go see
                       what they might have missed because some pedantic
                       selfish self righteous self inflated asshole thinks
                       he knows what does and does not belong on the motd.
        \_ what's user-unfriendly about less/more?

9/26    I remember there was web version of the motd with search function
        (originally due to kchang ?).  The last time I used it it was hosted
        on the csua website but I can't remember its url (onset of dementia?)
        now. Can somebody plz post it, tnx.

9/4     It looks like there are some issues with wallall at the moment. Any
        plans for it getting fixed? I can run wall, but wallall just gives an
        error.
        \_ Asking questions on the motd will not get any attention from
           any undergrad. You should email politburo or perhaps csua. -ausman

4/19    Motd updater thingy seems to be broken, does anyone know why?
        If not, I will take a look later in the day. -ausman
        \_ /etc/motd.public is not getting copied into /etc/motd for a while.
           \_ Now it works and no one knows why. Strange. -ausman

2/6     Um, what happened to http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~myname ?
        "The requested URL /~myname/ was not found on this server."
        \_ Try emailing root or politburo. I don't think that the
           undergrads use this machine anymore. -ausman
        \_ Ausman is mostly right. LDAP went down due to an expired cert and
           took down most of the rest of our stuff. It's probably a thing with

2/24    What newsreader should I use on soda?
        \_ USENIX? You serious? Everyone switched to RSS.
           \_ I think you mean usenet not usenix.  usenet was generally much
              better than blogs / rss (cf. comp.lang.c, comp.lang.perl,
              the usenet oracle, alt.* with digg, slashdot, etc.)
           link:reader.google.com is the best
