I'm afraid it's true that Tushar did get some mail-faking tips from me, but
as I was describing the key step, he interrupted me mid-sentence and
finished the thought, indicating he already knew enough SMTP basics to
figure the rest out himself. He apparently had just never thought of
putting anything but valid address information in the MAIL FROM line. But
yes, the Santa posting was almost certainly Tushar, which <pisses me off>
because I wrote Santa my wish list, and now he's probably never going to
read it! Interestingly, he asked me if I had ever posted fake addressed
mail and I replied no, to which he replied, "why not?" to which I responded
that I didn't want to get the reputation of someone who posts fake
addresses.

Went to the EFF Austin meeting Monday night, and the speaker, John
Quarterman, mentioned in the course of his remarks a famous April Fool's
hoax where mail was sent from a Dutch node onto usenet. The address was
faked to appear as if it were sent by then-Secretary of the Communist
Party, Constantin Chernenko, at a fictitious node "kremvax.kgb.su" (or some
such). Apparently the message asked all usenet readers to welcome the
Comrades into the world of Internet. The response was divided between
outraged flames about communists getting onto a net that was supposed to
stop at the Iron Curtain, and World Peaceniks wishing the Soviets well.
Almost nobody suspected a forgery. The immediate reply from a young man in
the audience: "How do you fake addresses?"

Interestingly, the former soviets are now on Internet, and there is
actually a Vax in Moscow named Kremvax. It had a different name until the
Communists fell and the operators learned of the Chernenko hoax, whereupon
they immediately changed the machine's name.

	I've found it takes roughly the same amount of time to get
the same package from Cambridge 02141 to Cambridge 02139 as it does
from Cambridge 02141 to New Zealand -- 3 days.  On the other hand,
that same package usually takes 2 weeks to get to California and
Texas.

Worry about themselves?  Were they worrying?  Why do you think it was a
bad idea?  (That's a sincere question, not a challenge.)  Maybe it will
increase their knowledge of net life by leading them to discover what
happened.  Maybe they'll even discover usenet.  Won't that be fun.

Close, but no cigar.  Re-read _Red Storm Rising_.  "Balls-up" is
ranger-speak for something that went wrong.  "Tits-up" once referred

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

I am interested the in the issue of censorship on the net but
because of my very recent entry into the system, I have little or
no personal knowledge or memory of instances of such activity.
I am aware of one instance on Strek-l where someone was dumped,not
because I witnessed the process, but because someone on that list
referred to it. There was also a one week suspension on IOUDAIOS
but I don't know whether the suspendee (?) rejoined the list when
the sanction was over?

If you know of histories, stories, examplex, instances, debates,
discussions etc, regarding this issue, I'd appreciate your
informing me.

I am also aware to a small extent of various lists arguing about
the appropriateness of certain postings, though I do not have a
clear sense of the boundaries in most instances...eg. Anthro-L.

Do you read the list, or what do you do? That schmalzy slew of list love
letters went on for months. People patting each other's backs and exchanging
compliments ... the thing became too sick to tolerate after a while.

I think that we had some acolytes to the religion of love that time ...

Greetings,

I'm not surprised to hear Clinton exploited his family connections in the
retail world to get ahead.  Liberals are like that.  Bush, on the other
hand, chose to make it on his own.  I'm sure he eschewed the support of
his investment banker/senator papa in making his own way like the American
hero he is.  Clinton, after all, is only American by virtue of geographic
coincidence.  In spirit and philosophy he's a demonic representative of
all that's evil in humanity, for example the notion that governments are
charged by those they represent to balance the needs of the polity
against the rights of the individual.

OK. Now for everyone's benefit, let me just say this. Read the manual page
on mconnect and read rfc821. You will then be all set to send fake mail to
the place of your choice.

If you are on a BITNET-only site, I am sorry I cannot help you. But if you
do succeed, don't try to brag about it in the hoaxed messages themselves.

Yes! Halloooooooo! If the first letter is not a giveaway, I don't know what
is. It's on par with an "e-oops" The Lob once perpetrated. In the middle of
the letter he said "I hope all wordslers are enjoying this first e-oops of
mine". No class.


>"What sort of name is Lob anyways?"

The history of the word is as follows. One day, Anne Harwell asked the list
for a good login name, doubtless to task us for some days and then saying
"Thanks for nothing". People suggested several names, and one of the names
which Chris suggested (yes, he was just Chris then) was "lobstrosity". It was
a self-propelled name, without any force of reasonability or relevance behind
it. As will happen on words-l, the name finally came to be applied to him,
through incidents which I am unable to recall. Perhaps La Harwell had a role
to play in it. And perhaps that was a good thing, since it stopped her from
discussing wrestling-without-pants with Chris.

You and my father, except when he doesn't know what he's eating.:-)
How about cappuccino yogurt? [yum!]  or chocolate yogurt?

In any form but frozen?  Frozen yogurt....Elan double chocolate...that stuff
is murder.  Pure chocolate in frozen form....
Anyone who wouldn't eat that must be a certified chocolate hater.:-)

Greetings,

I trust all the list is nestled before terminals all around the country
awaiting this defining moment (as the Republicans would call it) in
Words-l history.  Someday, newbies of the future will ask us, "Where
were you the night the WFF results were published?"

I will be able to report that I had almost overprepared the moment, selected
just the right music, poured a double measure of Bushmill's, and waited,
waited, as the tension built and the net throbbed.

Marty

 Fortunately

I never said that! I stopped riding motorcycles three years ago, but I
didn't purchase that Trapshooter this afternoon just because they look
cool.
