8/20    Stop selectively deleting from the motd.  Kill the whole thread or
        leave it alone.  Thank you.
              \_ Purging a serious thread from unfunny smart alec comments
                 is not unreasonable.  These are politically neutral deletions.
                 \_ What you thought was smart alec were some serious replies.
                    We don't need mommy here to keep us safe from unfunny
                    people.
                 \_ I reiterate that whenever I catch people doing it, I
                    nuke everything up to most recent deletion.  I don't care
                    if your motivation is politics, personal animosity,
                    phlegm-filled lungs, or whatever.  You are still an asshole,
                    and I will make the motd useless to you in retaliation.
                      -- ilyas
                      \_ I agree with you in principle, but continue to
                         claim that from a purely tactical point of view
                         selective deletion of tech threads, particularly
                         unix threads, constitutes a more directed retaliation
                         against the fuckers.
        \_ You are the jackass doing the selective deleting my refusing
           to use motdedit and you don't even realize it. Schmuck.
        \_ Whoever is refusing to use motdedit often deletes individual replies
           as a consequence of it. Do not assume that it is malicious.
           \_ motdedit users are probably in the minority.

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
