Okay, you're just stupid then.

Yes, but here's the big thing - you say alt.fan.nikita-borisov is an
irrelevant group.  Then you post to it *TWICE*!  Doesn't that mean that
it's a completely reasonable newsgroup?  I bet that if you reply to this,
you'll post to alt.fan.nikita-borisov *again*!

>I am now plonking gwkpeter@*

Good idea.  ;-)  I don't think you'll find many of my posts to uw.csc in
the next few weeks relevant at all.  You know, stuff about how to move
your webpages so they work with the new server, other useless things
like that.

Very few would argue, however, that it has nothing to do with you.

We will be running a single-page server that always replies with an 
explanation that www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca is the new webserver, but does
not contain a link to the page they were intending to get.
