Actually, would you believe it, it stands for "grep".  I don't know if you've
ever heard of it.  It's a text searching routine on Unix machines.

This Daniel Bowen character must have an ego as big as his electronic mouth.
It is a serious pain in the cajones to have to sit through my news reader
searching through the *hundreds* of posts on rec.humor just to prevent my
having to read his asinine drivel.  And then he occasionally posts something
that evades my Kill list and I have to edit it again.  But he is clearly
immune to accepting/understanding criticism.  Unfortunately, IMNSHO.

Anyone who responds "another fan" when he gets flamed for the  1,000,000,000th
time is past hope.  And now it appears I have to add /TCWF/ and /TOXIC
CUSTARD/ to my rec.humor.d. kill files.

On the bright side, at least I don't have to wade through it again on
aus.jokes, since it thankfully does not reach this site.

Daniel, when I flamed you last year for your repetitive, sophomoric, and
unfunny posts you referred to a mailing list of "satisfied subscribers".
I suggest that would be a more appropriate medium for your -er- typing.

Sherlock, give up.  That jerk isn't going to stop.

Apparently an upgrade to Brain Version 6.2 or higher will enable you
to kill-file by hand. I believe in 'rn' (for an example newsreader)
you can press 'n' after seeing the top the first screenful. 
Can't be bothered reading TCWF myself, and it works for me.

Greetings,
	I've seen lots of pieces of the script from Star Wars
floating around here recently.  I was wondering if anyone knows
where there is a copy on the net.  If all three films exist, that 
would be even better, as I'm looking for Obi-Wan's, and Yoda's

ease that it can be fallen into.  Thanks a lot in advance....

why do i keep seeing associations of nazism with christianity?
after all, hitler wasnt a christian, and his rhetoric was derived from

is some anti-christian miseducating our youth, or is some other association

	Well, for one thing, while it is true that there are many
places where one is *likely* to encounter a given joke list, it is
of course not guaranteed, whereas it seems likelier that if you post 
a request to the net, someone will mail a copy to you. 
	Also, using ftp does take up network bandwidth - often
much more than the little posting you do to the net instead.
	However, the gentlemen from U of T in Norway is right too:
excessive postings waste bandwidth and slow the net down.
	Thus, I would like to suggest that, instead of posting a 
request to the entire net for a given list, email the person who
posted it asking for a copy. Or do what I do - email someone else
who posted a note asking for it (don't worry about "what if everyone
did that?" - everyone won't, believe me).
	However, if you still want to FTP, but don't have FTP access,
all is not lost. Some nice folks at Digital Equipment Corporation 
have set up a server that will, in response to commands sent by email,
automatically conduct an FTP session and email the results back to you.
To learn how to use it, email ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com, empty subject
line, with just "help" in the body (if you're using VMSMail or have a
.signature, you should also put "quit" right below it).

   No way. Base means how many different symbols are used, and thats still 2 
   symbols, 0 and 1. Anything less than base 2 is impossible as there is no 
   contrast. 

You can, of course, generalize the notion of arithmetic base so
that for a base b, you combine multiples of b^0, b^1, b^2, ... to
represent any number.  You can pick b to be irrational,
transcendental, negative, or even imaginary.

If you really are 14, then I can see how they might not have

And I suspect you could really be 14, given that you are claiming

Yes, it's true. And it should also be noted that most feminist literature
is written by men! And further, most feminist leaders are really men in drag!

Of course, this is all hearsay, but I thought information of this extreme 
import needs to be dispersed as quickly as possible.

I feel confident that rec.humor is the appropriate forum for this.

A certain young gourmet of Crediton   
Took some pate de foie gras and spread it on   
    A chocolate biscuit,   
    Then murmured, `I'll risk it.'   
His tomb bears the date that he said it on.

There was an old party of Lyme   
Who married three wives at one time.   
    When asked, `Why the third?'   
    He replied, `One's absurd,   
And bigamy, sir, is a crime!'

There was a young boy of Quebec   
Who fell into the ice to his neck,   
    When asked, `Are you friz?'   
    He replied, `Yes, I is.   
But we don't call this cold in Quebec.'   

				---Rudyard Kipling

	    ---<<O>>---

Beware of the limerick bore;   
From a seemingly infinite store   
    He trots out more verse   
    Where the scansion gets worse   
But the subject's the same as before.
