Hmm. Didya notice that all the topics were totally off-base in subject
matter? Almost as if a sysadmin had told a bunch of users that this was
their new playground (axp-list specifically) for asking questions on
computer topics.
Lasaltech.com is a legit domain, but they don't have a technical contact in
the 'whois' lookup database... I say can 'em. If they can't provide contact
info and do domain registration like the rest of the net..... Pffft.

Heh. Maybe their mail is just plain misconfigured.... How I don't know, but
that's a plausible wierdness. You'd almost have to do it intentionally,
though, to make all the messages from a domain go directly to
axp-list@redhat.com....

Wierd.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I'm pretty easily annoyed right now, with the
passing of Finals week.. So here goes.

Paul D. Robertson (proberts@clark.net): If you must insist on using the
word "damn" twice in a 1.5 line reply, stuff it. That's as bad or worse
than my accidentally doing a reply-to on axp-list.

End of discussion on the merits of cursing needlessly.
