11/07   Has the KAIS MOTD issue been resolved? Can Kevin turn
        the 24 hr diff and searching again?
        \_ Kevin can do whatever he likes.  We asked him (not demanded) that
           he turn off the name attribute logging feature because we thought
           it would make a more anonymous better environment.  We didn't mean
           to imply that if he didn't turn it off we would sorry him (as it
           is easy for anyone to log motd edits and hard to stop or track
           those who do). -mrauser
           \_ He would not (necessarily) be sorried for leaving the logging
              feature active (unless it became a big problem later in which he
              might be officially given an ultimatum), but he was threatened
              with sorrying for not responding to the Politburo e-mails.
        \_ It is my wish to see CSUA become a better place than before. I am
           convinced that the motd experiments I ran in the past year
           made CSUA much worse, and I apologize to countless number of
           people who were directly or indirectly inconvenienced by the
           experiments. I'm very sorry. I have unplugged my work indefinitely
           and I hope by doing so CSUA will be nice again. Finally I'd like to
           point out that mehlhaff has done a great job archiving the motd
           on a consistent basis and I highly recommend his work. Mehlhaff's
           original archiver was an inspiration to me, and will no doubt
           continue to inspire many programmers to come. Thanks. -kchang
           \_ Translation: "You've done a good job pissing me off.
              I have no intention of providing a service
              for you ungrateful sodans and incompetent politburo
              members alike. I'm leaving, y'all go fuck yourselves."
           \_ I found the kais motd extremely useful ... and searching
              through it quite helpful. who thinks so strongly otherwise?
           \_ I agree that your efforts as a whole made it significantly worse.
              However, removing the "guess the poster" function would make
              things better IMO. -emarkp
              \_ I sometimes used the search/archive features. I think it
                 was useful and would lobby to have it turned back on
                 without the aforementioned "guess the poster" function.
                 \_  Thirded.
                   \_ I will add on a small bribe.
                      \_ Yeah, ok, so would I.  So what's yer price, kchang?
                         \_ The price is a regime change in politburo, a
                            regime that is now ruling soda with an iron fist
                            \_ You would need some sort of fake WMD evidence
                               before you can embark on a regime change.

                 \_ me too -ausman
           \_ The ID feature created a great deal if not all of the
              controversy.  I think it was a very helpful service otherwise.
