11/14   The EECS network was down for nearly a day, but it's back now.
        Please let us know if anything is still broken.
        \_ yes, the politburo is broken. For the past 5 years, the
           politburo has failed to permanently squish a single person.
           It has failed to squish people who mess with the motd
           (ilyas), people who repeatedly use scripts to automatically
           censor words (emarkp), people who spread dangerous
           trolls (kinney), and people who fingered the CSUA network
           to death (kchang). Please fix the politburo, thanks.
           \_ I will gladly go, if every single fucker who messes
              with the motd goes with me.  Otherwise, up yours. -- ilyas
              \_ OK, it's a deal.  Get lost.
           \_ You're a lamer.  Just thought you'd like to know.
           \_ I thought emarkp used a script to read the motd, not edit it
              directly?
              \_ I believe you are correct.
           \_ I am going to lobby that the politburo squish people
              who use the motd to anonymously criticize the politburo.
              \_ I am going to lobby to kick your ass.

4/18    csua has a tradition of making fun of people. Take kinney, kchang,
        dickeylee, and many many many others for example. Who is our target

                \_ I believe our target is ilyas... There was a time when
                   csua was pretty vicious (and more interesting) and the
                   corrupted politburo members squished people like flys
                   but those days seem to be long gone. Anyways,
                   tell us about the stars ilyas!!!

        past few days and it's attributed to the idiot who reinstated his
        account.
        \_ Behold! He has arisen from the dead! Now he walks the ancient land
           of Babylon, reporting divine truth. Do not harden your heart against

4/12    Sorry, I just don't get the idea of a guy blob. The idea of a guy
        blob is gay, and the idea of reading a guy blob is gayer. Kinney

           Nope.
        \_ Probably why he's not able to post his stuff himself.  Read the
           blog at: http://kinneyiniraq.blogspot.com
        \_ If you can't finger someone, it may be because they have a
           .nofinger file in their home directory and you are not using
           /csua/bin/finger*.  Put /csua/bin earlier in your path, and
           hopefully there will be less confusion.

4/12    Ok, I am not anonymous, and I will nuke kinney's stuff on sight.
        Pages worth of his barely coherent ramblings are not something that
        should end up here.  That it is about Iraq does not raise their
        usual quality.  What primarily pissed me off was the volume.
        Perhaps this is obvious, but kinney does not have a soda account.
        Aside from a link to his stuff, or a reasonably sized quote in the
        context of a larger discussion, he gets no real estate here.  This is
        the motd, not the motk. -- ilyas
        \_ oh, the irony
           \_ hi tom
        \_ Drivel from both ilyas and kinney should be nuked.
           \_ Hear hear.
        \_ look down at the passwd file fool
        \_ How can he be posting here if he doesn't have an account?
           \_ I was under the impression he wasn't posting himself.  I stand
              corrected on his account, however. -- ilyas
              \_ He should do what psb and others have done, when writing long
                 pieces, just put it into another world-readable file and post
                 the path. (We actually have /csua/tmp/motd.kinney too.)
        \_ Kerry and Bush don't have logins either, but their shit shows up
           all the time. Can I munch them too?
           \_ Yes, feel free to munch Bush.

        \_ I don't know, but my last post which you(?) keep deleting reminded
           me of kinney too!  (and why do you keep deleting it?  Just 'cause
           it is so long? or because you are one of the ADM dupes? I see
           the summary was kept, is this a compromise?  Should i stop
           reposting my overly-long response to a dead thread?

6/15    villains come, villains go. dickylee, kinney, etc etc. Who's our
        favourite now?
        \_ not sure kinney is an actual villian. Like it or not, he's trying
           to post (well what well may be in hist mind) arguments and is
           validly looking for feedback data.  I mean, the motd still is a
           public forum for soda-rfcs.  Dickylee et al were just munging the
           motd.  Kinney goes tothe trouble to getting URLs, data, etc.
           \_ Paolo, the reason it's called 'kinneydrivel' is because that's
              precisely what it is -- drivel.  It's poorly formed, often
              ungrammatical, badly formatted verbose spewage of the lowest
              grade, without a single shred of data or supporting material.
              \_ The above post was too close to factual and insufficiently
                 opinionated to be Paolo's.

           I have no idea who kinney is.  I've only seen the name before.
           Hated?  'Hate' is a deeply burning emotional concept.  I doubt any
           of them are truly 'hated'.
        \_ kinney is not 'hated', he is mildly disliked because of his long
           rants on the motd.
           tom is not 'hated' either, he is disliked by some because of his
           leftist views and die hard RIDE BIKE! RUN LINUX! fanatisism.

              in person.  My experience anyway.
           \_ I like Tom too.
           \_ To be accurate: I flame idiots just as much in person as I do
              on wall/motd.  The difference is, people are less likely to

7/21    MY GOD WHY WON'T HE SHUT THE FUCK UP.  Someone please sorry kinney.
        \_ what you shortsighted people fail to see is that kinney is
           this was the promised land one.
           really a misunderstood genius ala James Joyce. Is so called
           "drivel" is really a postmodernist stream of consciousness
           art form that reflects the harsh realities of the corporate
           lead globalized uber-rational technology driven uni-culture
           that threatens to undermine all forms of non-rational artistic
           expression.

                   SHUT THE FUCK UP WHO CARES JUST DELETE THIS CRAP
                           AND MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES

           The motd by kinney is perhaps second only to finnegan's wake
           in its untouchable and ununderstandable artistic purity.
           When he wins the noble prize of literature (becomming the
           first sodan to earn a noble prize) and the english majors
           from wheller walk up to 3rd floor soda and beg the politburo
                    of the kinney cancer. how come paolo isn't squished?
           for accounts so that they can read /etc/motd.kinney,
           just remember I told you so!
           \_ Christ.  Now there's copycat kinneys.  This sucks.
              \_ Its supposed to be funny, or at least sarcastic...
           \_ Fuck, you know a lot of words. What is a noble prize?
              \_ Its like a nobel prize but reserved for kinney.
        \_ by the way, another huge drivel has been added to motd.kinney,
           this was the promised land one. he's up to ~640 lines.
           \_ Ha ha, fooled you!  That's not kinneydrivel, that's just
              something that I got off of Usenet (ba.general, I think).
              It just appeared at the right time and happened to bear
              enough surface resemblance to Kinney.  -- fake kinney collector
              \_ well, i have to admit it doesn't have the true kinney feel.
                 too religious, and not enough spelling and formatting probs,
                 and no repeated punctuation marks. but i trusted the other
                 replies. hell, i wouldn't put it past him to write that.

        \_ welcome to free speech, fuckhead.  why don't you go back to

           censorship is cool.
           \_ go read /csua/tmp/motd.kinney if you want. welcome to world-
              readable files.
           \_ i have a better idea. let's keep deleting it.
              \_ auto-munging of the motd is squishable. dont get caught.
                \_ I wonder if paolo is now auto-deleting the reference
                   to the fact that he was auto-deleting the motd last week.
                 \_ it's not destruction of the motd, it's surgical removal
                    of the kinney cancer.
                 \_ would the [ motd formatting daemon ] come under the
                    auto-munging category?
                    \_ Past practice has been to only apply this to
                                \_ It's the motd grow up and deal with it or
                       those whose actions alter the content of /etc/motd.
                 \_ Wait, according to
                    http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/policies/motd "Making the
                    motd extremely long is not cool either."  Doesn't this
                    apply to kinney and his cohorts?
                    \_ there are lots of examples of extremely long motds.
                       for instance, get a political "discussion" going.
                       \_ Yes, perhaps so.  But posting the last 2-3
                          months of kinney's drivel is absurd.
                          \_ that is pretty dumb, why post it here when
                             there's /csua/tmp/motd.kinney?
                          \_ a several hundred line political discussion among
                             several people is cool; kinney discussing politics
                             with himself for several hundred lines is not
                             \_ so you decided what's cool and what's not?
                                my.
                                \_ It's the motd.  Grow up and deal with it or
                                   leave.  Your whining about it won't change
                                   anything.
        \_ 1) if you dont like it, dont read the motd.  or better yet,
           skip over the kinney stuff.  you are capable of ignoring stuff
           you don't care to read, right?  Good I knew you could do it.
           2) what makes you think kinney is posting that stuff?  I know
           of at least two people on soda who know kinney and could be
           just quoting that stuff from him. --Jon

           \_ it was deleted earlier but someone restored. this particular
              one is shorter than most. frankly, i'm disappointed with it.

                 them. i can now identify this kinneydrivel on sight but i
                 wouldn't have known who wrote it.
                 \_ It's kinney.
          \_ I know this has been covered before, but why are kinney's
             posts deleted? Is it length or content? I personally don't
             like the posts attributed to him as they are quite long,
             but I just skip past them. Deleting them seems quite harsh,
             unfairly abriding kinney's first amendment rights.
             \_ You seem a little confused.  First amendment does not apply
                to WORLD WRITABLE FILES.
                \_ its the principle of the thing. if you wish to have
                   they you should not engage in censorship either.
                   access to a medium of free and uncensored expression,
                   then you should not engage in censorship either.
                   do unto others and all that.
                   \_ The definition of censorship is very broad, it means
                      'deleting parts of something.'  Proofreading would fall
                      under that definition too.  I prefer to think of deleting
                      kinneydrivel as proofreading the motd (proofreading for
                      semantics is as important as proofreading for syntax
                      and spelling errors).
                      \_ It's not only semantics, it's community standards.
                         interesting to anyone except paolo.  It's just not
                         MOTD posts tend to be conversational, less than 10
                         lines.  kinneydrivel is lecture, 20+ lines, not
                         appropriate for the forum.  -tom

                            Holub, because, as the Talmud says, "Silence is
                            akin to assent." As this post will make clear,
                            Tom truly believes that he can make my stomach turn
                            and get away with it. It is just such wrongheaded,
                            nasty megalomania, mindless egoism, and intellectual
                            aberrancy that stirs Tom to let advanced weaponry
                            fall into the hands of repressive New Age bottom-
                            feeders. It may be soothing and pleasant for him to
                            think that all major world powers are controlled by
                            a covert group of "insiders", but his politics
                            always follow the same pattern. He puts the desired
                            twist on the actual facts, ignores inconvenient
                            facts, and invents as many new "facts" as necessary
                            to convince us that he would sooner give up money,
                            fame, power, and happiness than perform a brain-
                            damaged act. Even if I agreed that Tom's hopeless,
                            testy editorials were of paramount importance, it
                            would still be the case that I resent being exposed
                            to disaffected hell-raisers. Do I blame society for
                            this? No, I blame Tom. While this letter hasn't
                            provided anything in the way of a concrete plan of
                            action, it may help us focus our thinking a little
                            better when we do work out a plan. For now, we must
                            investigate Mr. Tom Holub's intemperate principles,
                            ideals, and objectives. I, hardheaded cynic that I
                            am, will certainly be happy to have your help in
                            this endeavor.

5/6     ali and dpet, are you guys enjoying grad school? do you miss the
        $, h07 chicks, and the BMW you could've had?
        \_ it's not an XOR.  i'm in grad school, and have a porsche - kinney
           \_ You are so hip, kinney, using cyberlingo like that!  We motd
              writers cannot help but accept you.
           \_ But is it a new porche? And can you afford to buy a
              new one every year?
              \_ only a moron would buy a new porsche every year.
                 \_ I pity you, you poor pathetic slob. I bet you
                    can't even afford to buy a porche.
           \_ So kinney, what is it like having a 1 inch dick?
              \_ I love kinney! -- kinney #1 fan
              \_ Not everything is about dick you know.
                 \_ oh right, sorry... So what is it like to have a 1 inch
                    clitoris?
                 \_ get off my dick! - tjb
                    \_ sorry, was just keeping it warm and cozy for ya.
                    \_ well when it trails along for miles you gotta expect
                       it to be stepped on and driven over now and then.

        email paolo for details
        \_ Que'est Fugazi?

              ever, and fugazi is just another whiny alternative band.
              \_ who are you, so I can hurl shit at you?
                 Sleater-Kinney plus the invisible scratch pickles are playing
                 too.  AND ITS NOT GOLDEN GATE PARK. Dolores Park.
