I doubt if this is the right newsgroup, but what the hell is this talk
about Deep Space Nine?  I've been out of the scene for a while and would
like some info.  Is it a spinoff of STNG?  What's the setting? etc. etc.
Is it syndicated (if so, does anyone know if it'll be on in Omaha, NE)?

How would you like it if, during the Gulf War, some alien intelligence  
came down, said "HI we are going to stop all conflicts you are having and  
we are going to kill off Saddam for you", and proceeded to attempt to end  
the war with their powerful technology?  I think the general public would  
panic!
The Prime Directive is there so that people won't interfere with other  
"developing" races as they develope.  Once we make it to other planets, we  
can say we did it ourselves and BEFORE we annihilated ourselves.  AND WE  
PROVED WE COULD SURVIVE AS A RACE AND GET THINGS ACCOMPLISHED WITH NO  
OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.  Races must function by themselves before they can  
be assimilated into other cultures.  All that we fought for would be lost  
with aliens killing off Saddam for us.  Past experience shows that  
oppressive (al least, REALLY oppressive) governments don't last over a few  
hundred years (if that long) once the public gets fed up enough to fight  
back.
I think the Prime Directive in the Star Trek Universe should govern all  
members of the Federation, civilian or not.  A race must be ready to join  
the Federation and not be drastically disturbed by having their own  
futures messed with by Fed "citizens".

Case Closed......(maybe)

It SHOULD pertain to ALL civilian or Starfleet personel.  However, I don't  
know off hand any star trek laws that can make citizens not interfere.  I  
am sure star fleet would discourage it in EVERY way.

The question is: 

A group of Federation citizens is trying to bring down a brutal and oppressive
government on one of the "developing" worlds. What possible reasons could
Starfleet have to want to stop this interference? It is my understanding that
civilians are not bound by the Prime Directive.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have read this group carefully over the Summer, and (with the exception of
the week 8-9/8-17), I haven't seen Five Star Trek 12-16 either.  I believe that
they may not have gotten to the net successfully?  In either case, if the

Hmm, nice quoter!  <grumble>

I'm not sure exactly which area they were in -- but I got them (all six) from one of the Star trek areas, and I thought it was this one.  If you don't have any luck, I can (a) email them to you, or (b) repost them.

I've seen many inquiries about an anonymous ftp archive for the
stories that appear in alt.startrek.creative.  As others have
mentioned, I maintain an archive on ftp.cis.ksu.edu (129.130.10.80) in
the directory /pub/Startrek/stories.  All files are compressed using
the UNIX LZW ".Z" compression used by the "compress" and "uncompress"
programs.  For non-UNIX systems, there are sourcess and binaries
available to handle files in this format on various archive sites.

If you find a story that I've missed, especially any of the ones that
appeared early in the life of this group or in the rec.arts.startrek.*
groups, mail it to me (jfy@cis.ksu.edu) or upload it to /pub/upload on
the archive site.

If you have any contributions to the archive, suggestions, etc. you
may also email them to me.
-----------------------------Mail--------------------------------------
For all those unfortunates who don't have Internet ftp access, I've
setup a mailserver to provide access to the archives on
ftp.cis.ksu.edu.

This mailserver can be contacted via mail one of the following
addresses:

...!rutgers!depot!mailserver  (UUCP)
mailserver@cis.ksu.edu        (Internet)

The server accepts commands given in the body of the mail messages;
help is available with the command "help".  

A listing of the files in
the story archive may be obtained by "dir -l /pub/Startrek/stories".

Since the story archive consists of UNIX compressed files, they must
be uuencoded before they are sent on their way.  To specify this mode,
use the command "encode uuencode"  To retrieve the files, use the
"send" command (ex:  send /pub/Startrek/stories/Bestseller.Z).

Here is an example mail message:

% Mail mailserver@cis.ksu.edu
Subject: request 
help
encode uue     
send /pub/Startrek/stories/Bestseller.Z
^D
%

Please note that this is completely experimental and is not bug free.
Questions and problems about this mailserver may be directed to
"mailserver-reply@cis.ksu.edu".

	I may be more than a little new about this, but my question is:  If
starfleet is bound to the prime directive, but civillians aren't, then why
haven't the civillians just taken matters into thier own hands where starfleet
has refused to help them?  I can't remember the episode that origionally
sparked this question in my mind, but a good example would be the book "Prime

 Well,  since you are a fellow Hoosier Sam,  I will add to this.  I don't  
know why people say they are attractive on here but I do know why  
attractive people get on here.  When an attractive person goes out in  
public to get a date,  most people who want to date him/her is trying to  
because they are good looking.  And witty charming intellectuals wont lay  
a finger on good looking people because they take them for idiot models.   
Writing on here means you at least have the intelligence to operate a  
computer and saying that you are attractive means you are smart and good  
looking.  It is the perfect way for 2 smart good looking people to meet,   
rather than on the street where it would be a physical thing.  Also....  I  
guess it gives a chance for network toads to score big!


Just a thought!!

Hi.  I'm looking for a special SF pen-pal (age < 35) anywhere in the World.

Short intro: I'm a SWM, 28, and I'm busy doing my PhD.  I'm in Europe,
but since I am just looking for e-mail, it shouldn't matter so much.

I'd like to talk about anything, but in addition:

I am rather fascinated by young women who can sit comfortably with
their legs "double"-crossed like this (yes, I know I'm not good at
drawing, but you get the idea):

 (Knees often not bent so sharply - ascii has its limitations.)

Are you a competent female "double-crosser"?  Then I'd like to hear
from you!  :-) That is, if you don't mind some friendly e-mail chat.
Nothing "hot" !

Actually, I'm also fascinated by flexible women (/girls) in general
- just watching then do "tricks" - I guess this is related to the above.

  1.   O        2.  O       3.                 
       |____        |____       /     Anyone who can do *this*?

       |        |   |        |O  \      (OK, this may be too advanced.)      
 ______/______  |___/______  |___/______      

Weird?  Maybe.  But except for this odd starting point, I'm basically
looking for a pen-pal to chat with (about anything).

So if you (or maybe a friend) fit the above description, don't be shy
- find yourself (your friend) an unusual pen-pal!  :-)

- Not a weirdo; rather a Nice Guy (tm)

Subject: somebody in pgh. who likes tennis 


I am not a great player, so if you want a challenge, I am by no means
one (at least tennis-wise).  I am just looking for someone in Pittsburgh
who wants to play some friendly games of tennis occasionally.  None of
my friends like to play - I would just like to practice with someone
else, and try to get better.  

I am a swf, 19, and I go to Carnegie Mellon.  I don't have a preference
as to male or female.  

ciao,  Kate.

I am 5'7" and 135 lbs, a 29 year old single asian male graduate student 
in Alberta, Canada. 

I'd like to meet a SF for friendship possibly leading to a personal 
relationship. It doesn't matter where you are living now. If you are 
not from my area we could start with chats through e-mail and other
potential activities.

Looking forward to hearing from you. All replies will be answered.
