    News flash: "Usenet newsgroups controlled by UUNET!".

    "It was a complete surprise!" Said one stunned sysop at a
    competing ISP, "It was right under my nose all this time and
    I never knew!  I am going to bump this up to my supervisor right
    away!".

    Another engineer commented: "Well, personally speaking, I am
    skeptical... A quick check of our logs show only 3 or 4%
    of articles flow through uunet and less then 1% are actually
    posted from uunet".

    And:  "Shocking!  It's the only world I can use to describe this
    turn of events!  Now, where's my wall street journal?".

    And, yet another sysop:  "Oh yah... we got tired of dealing with
    all the bogus crap being generated by certain persons who seem to believe
    they are god's gift to the usenet.. real pyscho types judging by their
    postings. It's a whole lot easier to let uunet handle certain newsgroup
    related functions for certain hierarchies so we don't have to waste
    timing doing it ourselves".

    And, finally, to cap it all off, an unknown supervisor stated:
    "What's a Usenet?"
