What's up.

Time for some explaining to do. mobius@wam.umd.edu was abused by a friend  
of mine. I let him use it because he is my friend, NOT ANYMORE, that low  
life!

Personal: for amie.
I use one NeXT and another NeXT for the ass that did this. He knows a lot  
more computer stuff than I(like anonymous post), and he knows me very  
well. That punk will not share his secrets.

I only do programming/project on the NeXT. Reading mail and joining news  
group is not me, but my friend is. He gets the mail first, so I never got  
any mail regarding you.

I have finished my project today, then this garbage started to pile up. My  
account is blown wide open. I ask for answers, he gave none.

I have receive death threats, ugly remarks, and everything imaginable in  
the past 24 hours. I DO NOT LIE! That is one trait all my other friends  
know.

NewsGroup: soc.penpals
I personally haven't seen any newspost before until now. Whoever send the  
other post, you should get a life. I read the news post. The anonymous  
post for beowulf@wam.umd.edu was a nasty one. It sounds like an  
advertisement for amie.

For those people that assume that I wrote the advertisment, think again.  
It was all his handywork.

As for the letters/email this guy wrote to amie, they seem pretty  
harmless, although it was very irratating to the receiving end. The guy  
had a crush with amie I think. I am not. He does not live in the states. I  
do not have the time to check what this guy writes, so I did not bother.

I have never meet or seen amie before, so I do not know her. Right now,  
she is pretty pissed off right now, that is for sure. One thing is for  
sure, I DID NOT DO IT!

Apology:
For those that email to the above address, supprise. I had to find time to  
apologize to all the people I do not know and do not care for something I  
can not even do.

As for the ass being kick, I done it personally. If you want a picture of  
gash in his head, I will scan one for whoever is interested. I live on  
campus but he drives so he can do whatever he wants with my account, not  
any more.

FinalWords: From the real me.
I do not have any friends on campus. That is a fact. All my friends from
high school went to work, got married, etc. None of them went to college.  
My old friends remember me what is and what was and nothing more.

Penpals, make fools of themselve, because we have not seen them before.  
Friends, some of them you just can't trust.

For those friends of amie, truely sorry. As for the butthole that cooked  
up this mess, he is gone. Told him to GET A LIFE! I GOT ONE for those  
wondering.

Enough of this trash, wasted enough time explaing things I have not done  
and can not do. I do not need this kind of side-abuse. No matter how I try  
to explain, some people got hurt already, so it is too late.

End of discussion. End of mobius@wam.umd.edu

To everyone who participated in the little survey....thanks. You are a 
fascinating and interesting bunch with a very wide variety of hobbies, habits,
crazed social lives, etc.........

Early next week, I'll post "sort of" results....I think I'll basically leave 
names out of it....but instead I'll post all the hobbies, activities, occupations,
sex ratio, etc. and let you guys/gals of similar interests find each other on
the net.

I wanna clarify the basis of the survey: I was not trying to "accuse" anyone of 
being a 100% computerhead...I was simply trying to find out everything about
y'all that's interesting OUTSIDE of computing....we all compute..otherwise, I 
wouldn't have posted this survey. 

Thanks again and we'll see you in my e-mail dreams:-)

Your apology ought to be for allowing your account to be used the way it was

but obviously your a victim in this as well.  This can teach all of us why
our system administrators get upset when our passwords are common knowledge

I am not against sharing an account with someone who doesn't have one,
I myself do that on one account, but the rules that I laid down when she
got the password we very specific.  I can also trust this woman with my
life.  It takes a character judgement.

BTW, anyone want to write with a 24 year old guy from N.Y.C. who can't type

an awesome job as a programmer that is paying me enough money to pay off some
of my debts!

I also very much enjoy reading Sci-Fi, esp. Star Trek: the Next Generation.
and studing the Bible with people.  Oh yes, I'm a big fan of the Yankees,
so write to me even if its out of pity. (I know they are bad, VERY bad)
even Stankiewitz is slumping!  AAUGH!
  sorry, some anguish from a true fan.

Subject: The legendary Freddy was WHOA! (Re: Help me out here!)

        I'll have to vouch for beowulf here, the Freddy (not the one
from _Nightmare on Elm Street_) is quite legendary around the
University of Maryland area.  The ad is as described by beowulf and is
published in every issue of _The City Paper_.  I have heard the bit
about him being a psychology experiment to see what kind of person
responds to that kind of ad.  If that's the case, we kinda know the
answer.

        But when I think about it, I'd answer that ad if I could mimic
a female voice -- I'm neither 19, nor female, and least of all
perfect.  But then, I'm the person who likes to get prank calls 'coz I
mess with them right back.

        The only question I have is:  Is beowulf's mom absolutely sure that
that Freddy is the same one?  As anyone who has seen _My Cousin Vinny_,
evidence can be extremely circumstantial.  With this guy's poor luck, he
been trying to dump that extra freezer in his basement for the last 3
months.

For all you guys out there participating in the "wee little survey", I am
new to the newsgroup and am having quite a fun time with it.
 
All I want to say is that my boyfriend is 6'1", but even if he were 4'1",
I would love him just the same.  Not all of us women are concerned about
height -- I'm sure you guys are terrific and one day will find women who
will appreciate you for the people you are.  If you find women who won't
date you because you're shorter than they are, then don't waste your time
with that type of woman no matter how beautiful they are.  Who needs a
shallow woman like that anyway?
 
Just wanted to make sure you guys aren't sitting back feeling sorry for
yourselves, hoping you were taller or whatever.  Remember:  Good things
come in little packages (like chocolates for instance).  Keep smiling!

I'm interested in brief or extended e-mail conversations on most any
topic.  I enjoy music, especially blues and blues/rock, and the live
music scene.  I'm politically alive but undecided on many issues;
open to discussion.  I enjoy art and am somewhat of an amateur
watercolorist.  I stargaze and wonder aloud at the marvel of the
universe.  I'm almost always reading at least two different books
(now it's "The River Why" by David James Duncan and "The Magic Journey"
by John Nichols).  I enjoy philosophizing and just plain shooting the
breeze.  I am ecologically concerned, but I wouldn't call myself an
activist.  I do what I can in my local sphere of influence.  I enjoy
cooking and love cooking for others.  Recent adventures include some
mighty fine Chinese and Indian dishes (hot, sultry, and spicy!!).  I
enjoy physical activity including hiking, canoeing, and backpacking.
Don't do enough of it.  I walk several miles 2 or 3 times weekly.

So, let me here from you.  Let's talk and enjoy expanding our lives by
adding another person in it.
