To put that another way: "Why bother to remember old history when we have
this new, modern history?"  "More relevance" is a great argument for 
selectively ignoring the past.  Why not remember *both*?

Montreal's supposed to be a mix of old and new, the European and the North
American, no?

But *why* is it stupid, Steve.  Give us *reasons* for your opinions, this
is just name calling!

What's wrong with taking a name like Dorchester, a name far from the
conciousness of modern Quebecois, and replacing it with Rene Levesque, who,
no matter what your politics, has certainly got more modern relevance.

That's clearly a valid reason for the change, clearly not a "stupid"
reason.  Now lets not get sidetracked by the *politics* of this particular
name change, that's not the topic you raised, let's stick to discussing the
habit of changing names itself.  There are many political and ethnic
arguments for and against that particular change, and in fact I'm not
particularly enamoured with the habit of naming things after people anyway
(this is just cultural, it's not a common practice in Britain, as you
implied, we build statues!), but although I wouldn't do it myself, I
wouldn't call it "stupid".

Ah wait, could that possibly be it (:-), - although your original posting
said (paraphrasing) "*ignoring* this business of changing all French names
to English..."  really, that was the whole point of your posting???

Well, on *that* subject, it is just as valid (or invalid, depending on your
leanings) as insisting that "Londonderry" be called "Derry".  But that's a
topic for discussion for soc.culture.celtic of course (:-).  I myself think
it's a perfectly valid socio-political tool.  To answer your implied
question, the cost to the taxpayer is clearly worth it if you think it's
valid, clearly not if you don't (:-).  It's like religion, what's the point
in arguing about it, there can be no conclusion drawn.

after all, it's only been going on since 1759, but could those who
like to talk about this stuff please move the discussion to some

You :-)

or .... from the famous Jargon file:

:computer geek: n. One who eats (computer) bugs for a living.  One
   who fulfills all the dreariest negative stereotypes about hackers:
   an asocial, malodorous, pasty-faced monomaniac with all the
   personality of a cheese grater.  Cannot be used by outsiders
   without implied insult to all hackers; compare black-on-black usage
   of `nigger'.  A computer geek may be either a fundamentally
   clueless individual or a proto-hacker in {larval stage}.  Also
   called `turbo nerd', `turbo geek'.  See also
   {clustergeeking}, {geek out}, {wannabee}, {terminal
   junkie}, {spod}, {weenie}.

After many years of "continuous" service, it's possible that philmtl might

Is there any site in Montreal which could offer me usenet access?

  I'm a bit surprised that you use this group to post your request,
because this group is for the Montreal region, not only for the
"Universite de Montreal".

  Now, regarding your question, yes, we have sixteen dialup lines equiped
with US Robotics Courrier V32bis (14,400 bps).  To access those lines,
you must dial 343-2411. A warning though, for people who don't have
account on computers at the UdeM, those dialup lines are restricted and
don't give direct access to the INTERNET, this service is available only
from the nodes in the "umontreal" domain.

  Since I'm addressing this question publicly now, I would like to
mention to the people interested about the UdeM, that we have a CWIS
(Campus Wide Information System) named UdeMatik that anyone can consult
without a "user number" or a "password".

  If you have a V32bis modem, you dial 343-2411 and you type "udematik".
Your terminal must be set to 8 bit, no parity, and you must use the
VT100 emulation.  For those with modems running at 2400 bps, the phone
number is 733-2394, and the terminal should be set to 7 bit, even parity,
or to 8 bit with the strip hi-bit option on.  Again, you ask for the
same service, "udematik".  For those on the INTERNET, you just have
to execute a TELNET to "udematik.umontreal.ca"

  Basically, in UdeMatik, you'll find the university catalog, the phone
directory, the Newsletters of the computing services, ..., etc. For
instance, there are a few articles about the V32bis modems in the
Newsletter (Information) published in Jan-Feb 1992. There is a feature
in UdeMatik that you can use to have the information sent to you at your
EMail address (the "z" command I think).

  Please, don't rush altogether on this service now! It's a small system
that can handle about 10 sessions at the same time.

  Sorry for the sales pitch, but I take the opportunity here to give
information about the UdeM that is already known by many people here
(but obviously not to all of them :-).

Non, Murray Bay -> La Malbaie

Si Riviere-du-Loup n'est pas Murrayville, c'est un autre nom anglais-ville,
mais je suis enclin a penser que c'est Murrayville.

Quant a St.Catharines, j'ai l'impression que c'est un endroit dans
l'ile de Montreal, peut-etre meme pres de la vieille ville des annees 1800.

 Ignoring the deliberate efforts of some to replace english
 names for things in Quebec with french ones (sometimes totally
 unrelated for no better reason that simply to get rid of any
 appearance of english in the province) - the whole idea of
 changing region, town, street or building names is ridiculous
 to me.
 
 It is stupid.
