2/2     Wow, point out a little right wing hypocracy regarding family
        values and all my threads get nuked!  Woot!
        \_ hypocrisy, maybe?
        \_ jwang is the nuking mother fucker! DIE JWANG!!! One more anti-right
           wing, one more nuke of my pro conservative post, the entire motd goes.
           Jwang, I'm watching you.
           wing, one more nuke of my pro conservative post, the entire motd
           goes.  Jwang, I'm watching you.
           \_ Oh look!  A _death_ threat on the motd!  Quick, to the Paolo
              cave!  We must root out this injustice (heh) so all CSUA
              members can feel safe! -- ilyas
              \_ Jeez, ilyas, motd seems to have made you bitter.  Your
                 tit-for-tat playbook must be huge.
                 \_ It's the Old Testament way, baybee.  Paolo's antics and
                    selective enforcement in general are a pet peeve of mine
                    (can you tell?). -- ilyas
                    \_ yes we know you're obsessed with paolo/pst/pollux.
                       have you actually met him in person? he's actually a
                       very nice guy. you on the other hand ...
                       \_ Heh.  Me and Paolo know each other pretty well.
                          In fact, I bet I talked to him more recently than
                          you (i.e. today).  On the other hand, have you ever
                          met me?  You get the 'flawed insinuation of the day'
                          award.  What does meeting a person have to do with
                          anything?  What does coming across as a 'nice guy'
                          have to do with anything?  -- ilyas
              \_ A death threat?!!? By "death", you mean deleting the motd?
                 Are you being dense on purpose? -!pp
                 \_ "die jwang". who's being dense? -!ilyas
                    \_ I don't think that can rationally be considered a
                       death threat.  *shrug*
           \_ Grow the fuck up.  And learn to post to motd correctly.
              \_ You know what people do when they really grow up?
                 They stop posting to the motd.
                 \_ Oh ouch.  That hits a little close to home, doesn't it?
                 \_ That's not true.  I grew up and I still post to the motd.
           \_ Hey, when making threats like this, sign your name.  And don't be
              so sure you know who's doing what on the motd.  Maybe someone
              with root can determine who /you/ are so /you/ can be properly
              squished. -emarkp
                \_ uh, the current root no longer cares about motd. It is no
                   longer publicized to new CSUA members.
                   longer publicized to new CSUA members. It is just a matter
                   of time before all the old motd farts grow up, get married,
                   buy a house, and raise kids. Before you even know it
                   no one is posting to motd. I estimate 5-10 years.
                   \_ Sorry, son -- I know alot of sodans that regularly post
                      to motd that have 'grown up', gotten married, bought a
                      house, and have more than 1 kid.  You don't know as much
                      as you think you do about motd demographics.
                      \_ Indeed, I'm 31, have been married 9 years, own a house
                         and have 2 children. -emarkp
                         \_ wow. So tell me, would you want your kids to motd?
                            \_ wow.  can you possibly have less clue?
                            \_ Since the older one is just reading, I think the
                               question is moot. -emarkp
                               \_ We could have a Katie vs Sujin flamewar!
                                  -jrleek
                         \_ I didn't know anyone over 30 other than tom read
                            motd. I'd figure that when you hit your late 30s
                            you'd get a gf, wife, or a life already. Oh well,
                            I hope I'll stop some day.  -pathetic mid 20 guy
        \_ Actually, does anyone know why jwang nukes but never writes?
           \_ I'd guess because not enough people care whether he has anything
              to say.
              \_ When has this ever stopped anyone? -gm
           \_ Does anyone know why people keep anonymously accusing jwang and
              ilyas of nuking?  I crack up when I nuke a thread and someone
              else gets blamed by an anonymous yahoo.  -emarkp
              \_ So is your rule something like "WWJN"?
              \_ I don't know anything about jwang, but do a search through
                 the archives for "nuke" and "ilyas" and the reason people
                 gett pissed at him will become obvious.  And for the hundredth
                 time: fuck you for nuking threads.
                 \_ You can tack me on to that last sentiment, though I would
                    say simply "please stop doing it". -- ulysses

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

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.)
