           \_ puncture-proof is a self-cancelling phrase.  And those things

              about it, is my advice. -tom

         tubes, both are puncture resistent. Also, try Kevlar belted
         tires....light and strong...
         \_ Normal tubes are polyurethane.  Latex tubes need to be
            pumped up every day.  Kevlar belted tires do practically
            nothing to reduce flats and significantly affect your
            ride.   -tom

11/11   I've received written and verbal complaints about the

        people shouldn't have to "mesg n" when they want to receieve
        talk and write messages just beacause you are obnoxious.
             -boyd@soda
        ^^^ I disagree strenuously.  I enjoy getting silly wall
            messages on soda -- it's part of the charm.  Anyone too
            stupid to do a "mesg n" is too stupid to pay attention
            to.
        ^^^ I agree with the disagreement, strenuously.  If people
            can't deal with soda's silliness, they should go use
            a MORE SERIOUS MACHINE, to do the work they want.  Party
            on dudes.  (Thanks, Garth)
        ^^^ I disagree with the adjective "strenuously" (I would use
            "arduously") but other than that, I agree with the agreement
            with the disagreement.
        ^^^ Yeah, me too.
        ^^^ I wrote the first comment.  I used the word "strenuously"
            because I formulated the idea during excremeditation.
            Hence, the disagreement was strenuous in every sense of
            the word.
        ^^^ I didn't say anything earlier because I disagreed with
            whomever's use of the word strenuously.  However, because
            it has now been stipulated that we are actually disagreeing
            arduously, I agree with the disagreement.  Wall Lives!
        ^^^ I think you really mean ardently.  webster it, dude.
        ^^^ I vehemently agree with the strenuous disagreement, even if
            it was only ardent (it is ardent - arduous means difficult)
        ^^^ So, we're all agreed?
        ^^^ I fervently meant "arduous" as an alternative to "strenuous"
            because it captures the same idea more elegantly.
            I am vehemently contentuous with the use of the modifier
            "ardently."  "arduous" means with great effort.
            "ardently" means passionately.
        ^^^ I most definitely agree with the first statement ... Are we
            all agreed?
        ^^^ Only if you really meant contentious, and not contentuous.
            Maybe I'm just a floccinauxinihilifilipicator.

        \-what does this mean? there are two VPs?
        \_ It means I'm in charge of squishing people, and he's in charge of
           stealing processors from soda so we can run a netrek server on
           scotch.  -tom
        \_ Is that why two processors are missing on Soda?
        \_ Yes.  Though we're not running a netrek server.

5/12    To all those using old versions of wallall, you should begin using
        /usr/local/bin/wallall.  The older version had a different internal
        logic,  and misinterprets the new wallall settings.  This change was
        required to make the default "wallall -n" rather than "wallall -y".

5/12    COME TO ESCHELPERSYN HALL TONITE @ 7:00PM !!!
        \_ How did it go?
         \_ we didn't get more money, but we made senate very
          aware of our presence and caused a disturbance
          and delay in their meeting, and some of them
          made various promises of support to me.  thanks
          to everyone who showed up to support the csua.
          you really helped to make an impression on them.

        wallall.   -ERic

5/10    The senate is holding one more meeting this semester, wednesday
        night at 7 in the senate chambers.  We should all try to show up

5/11    minor change to wallall: you now must use wallall -y in order to get
        'Boredcast message's. The default login settings will leave you out of
        the wall discussions.  You have to _want_ to be in them now.
        Please suggestions, bug-reports, comments, and flames regading wallall
        to wallall@soda.

5/11    To all those using "unofficial" versions of wallall, you might
        want to change now to /usr/local/bin/wallall.  If you don't:
         a) You'll be wallalling to wallall -n people
         b) wallall -y people won't see your walls
          \_ That makes a whole lot of sense!
