Sa> WELCOME TO CHI.INTERNET'S FAQ!!!

 Sa> Q. What is chi.internet? 
 Sa> A. Chi.internet is a newsgroup for
 Sa> the discussion of non-commercial internet-related topics,
 Sa> such as how to set up your own site, how to get various
 Sa> network-related packages going, what free-community projects
 Sa> and features are being offered around town (WWW sites, and
 Sa> the like). It is also a wonderful area to discuss the shape
 Sa> of Karls head.

True...

 Sa> Q. Why am I getting flamed so much? Did I do something wrong?
 Sa> A. Usually, no, you haven't done anything wrong. It just
 Sa> stands that Chicago is indeed the angriest city in the world.
 Sa> On the chance, however, that you did indeed do something
 Sa> wrong, such as post a commercial message to the newsgroups,
 Sa> the scorn you have earned is justified, and probobly long
 Sa> overdue. People who post commercial messages (Get Rich
 Sa> Quick!...lots of Beepers for sale!) should be strung up by
 Sa> their eyelids.

Ditto... 

 Sa> Q. Who moderates chi.internet? Is anyone
 Sa> really in charge? 

 Sa> A. Yes. Sarlo. He can be reached at
 Sa> sarlo@ripco.com. He is the closest thing to a god figure you
 Sa> will come across on the chi.* newsgroups. Obey and serve him
 Sa> well.

Um....err....Ack....

 Sa> Q. Why must we worship him? What makes him so special? A.
 Sa> There is no choice. You simply must obey.

Hurl...

 Sa> Q. I will obey. 
 Sa> A. Good.

(on the floor, laughing my ass off)

 Sa> Q. What is considered a "commercial post"? 
 Sa> A. Any article
 Sa> that is meant to suck money from the masses for whatever
 Sa> snake oil you happen to be hocking at the time, be it an ISP,
 Sa> a pyramid scheme, a 1-900 number, or a new software package. 

>SNIP<

Hahahaha.....Sarlo, by no means rules this group. This is a free,
public forum...apparently so free, that Sarlo's unmatched wit (thus
far) can make such statements without any second thoughts. He does
add a certain aura to this group, besides, anyone that can go
toe-to-toe with anyone in the state of denial and without a clue of
reality (like Karl) is an asset to any group. 

The worst that can happen is that someone can get real miffed at
this group and propose to have it removed...as with chi.general,
then Karl would have to cross-post his ass elsewhere. His rants and
raves with Tezcat should've stayed restricted to chi.general in the
first place.

As for Sarlo.....well...I don't know what to say about him, since I
only know of him through IRC and his postings, and that's not
knowing him at all. I'm still trying to figure out if he was
conceived through natural means. (shrug)

  
... We now return to our regularly scheduled flame-throwing.
