10/11   Welcome back, motd conservative crank!  Sorry to see that you don't
        have motd access over the weekend; the motd's so boring without your
        rants!
        \_ Who do you think you're talking to?  Do you really think there's
           only one conservative here?  And yes, I agree with you.  Anyone
           who disagree with your political philosophy and posts anything
           that might contradict you is a crank and a ranter.  It must be so.
        \_ I agree, the motd just isn't the same without him.  Back in my
           BBS days I used to read FIDOnet only because of a highly
           entertaining right-wing crank.  I wish I could remember his name -
           his sole purpose in life seemed to be arguing that women should
           not have the vote.  His extremely "logical" arguments were usually
           backed up by extensive quotations from Aristotle and Plato.  No
           counterargument or attempt to change the subject could impede
           his quest to stamp out the Great Evil of Women Voters.  When
           he vanished, FIDOnet was never the same.
           \_ I understand completely.  I sometimes think the only reason I
              read and posted to Usenet was to stir up more bizarre logic.
              Somehow this whole CraigsList board thing doesn't do it for me.
              Too much of the "been there, done that, got the t-shirt" vibe.

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
