I don't think that too many people are interested in how WSU's computer
department generally mistreated John Palmer, no offense.  Let me add my
proverbial "two cents" to the matter:

My only affiliation with WSU is that I receive a personal UUCP feed from
wsu-cs -- mail and a little Usenet.  In this function, they've been terrific!
I have a problem, I mail it off to the admin, Jon Brewster, and it's typcally
resolved quickly.  I helped set up a couple friends with a little bit of
home mail/Usenet connectivity and WSU was able to facilitate things rapidly.
Mail and news works...  my headers don't get munged into utter nonsense.
I want a new newsgroup, it gets added.  .UUCP addresses get pathaliased, etc.
Overall, I've been very happy with WSU in this function, and I wish to
extend Jon Brewster and anyone else who's made things work right there a
big "thank you".

For all I know, this could be extremely atypical, and everyone at WSU
is some sort of fascist incompetent sloth-unit off to make Detroit look
bad on the net.  (We all know about some people who make Detroit look bad
on the net.)  But long-time-ago possible-slights aren't typically the
stuff of "good" Usenet, and this "WSU is bad" crap seems like no exception.
Take it to mail, or the grave, or something.  It's getting on my nerves
here.
