psychoceramics: Disharmonic Convergence

[nmcnelly @ acs.bu.edu (N.A.F. McNelly)]

Usenet makes strange bedfellows.

Let's see, recently we've had Boursy getting together with/not getting together
with Neutopia, the very odd Michael "Disney surpressed my magical hat!" Pitzel
muttering about UUNet because he'd been reading Gruborsy on
news.admin.censorship, and now we have a Boursy - Joan "Bill Gates is the
Great Satan" Brewer combo.

I think we need Koos Nolst Triente to come in and channel L. Ron Hubbard's
analysis of them all.

        Microsoft has a significant ownership stake in UUNET--
UUNETs primary selling point is their attempted monopoly
of Usenet groups.  DOJ is investigatin Anti-Trust behaviors
by UUNET--email me if you wish to file along on the same case.

        Decent providers do not allow UUNET any control over
newsgroups.
