So, hey, what do you guys think about this Clinton guy?  Can a guy who
didn't go to VMI be a successful commander in chief?

Yep.  And I saw albert this time.  I'd never noticed him before, although
I'm sure he was always there.  Albert sure takes a longer time to get mail
through than Ra does, though.  I'm fascinated by the header situation.
For a while, the listserv was accepting my fake <message ID>.  Now it's
sending along the evidence.  That evidence didn't show up at all from
gnu.ai.mit.edu a while back, even in direct mail.  Something got changed
there, I guess.

Friday night, Republican California Governor Pete Wilson finally signed a Gay
and Lesbian Rights bill into law.  The law prohibits employment discrimination
based on sexual orientation, actual or perceived.  Exempted are bonafide
religious organizations and businesses employing fewer than 5 persons.
Governor Wilson is not up for re-election this year.

I am surprised that a Republican governor OKed this legislation.  I personally
think that Wilson may have been trying to paint the Republicans as more to the
left than the convention's Pat Buchanan and Pat Robertson to attract
California's Republican voters back to the fold.

What do people think the effect of a Republican supporting controversial
legislation affirmed by Clinton but distained by Bush will be?

Karsten's ticket was really irritating; the officer was confused about which
meter he was parked at, but there was no way to prove it, of course. All we
could think of was that if we had seen the ticket before you left we could
have gotten you to take pictures!  But you were gone, and the ticket was for
$15.  It was also aggravating, because I made sure we left in time for the
meter, and the ticket was given about 20 minutes after we got there.

Hey, Bernard, why not nose around the southland there and tell me if
any semaphores still protect trains in your neck of the woods.
They're almost extinct in the northern Midwest here; just a few left
in the Chicago area; although some Chicago and North Western train
crews still refer to a clear signal as "ninety" (degrees from the
horizontal) and an approach signal as "forty-five."

NITEMAN was for real and I know how to forge posts.  The level of plausible
deniability on the list is amazingly high.  I think most folks are probably
ex-spooks.  And the Toal House Kooky is really writing from Mombassa and
Akio is in Omaha.  Giggles is really Richard Dawson trying to keep his hand
in; Don is a soap scriptwriter using this list as his trial balloon.
Tushar's a mafia hit man whose name ends in an 'o'; Le Pig is Scalia in
drag.  Rashmi is really Carol who is really the Lob who is really Natalie
who is really NITEMAN.  Only The Saint is really himself.  Bernard, I mean.

I'm still clueing out the rest.  You will be defrocked.

Subject:      Bitnet question

Hi everybody - Can anyone tell me how to find out if a bitnet node between
uclamvs and the outside world is not working? I haven't been able to find out
how to do this from the people here. We're on an ES/9000 M900 MVS mail system
(I think) if that helps.

I want my words-l!

Oh, thank you. However, Virupaksha is different from Tushar Samant, as has
been pointed out repeatedly. But that apart, the elephant is definitely the
most interesting pet ever.

If anyone voted for Bernard in this category, they stand alone in their
singular unimaginativeness and the ability to be swayed by media propaganda.
They are true examples of people who have lost their capacity of original
thought.

Just what I was going to ask!  I can understand lurking for a few weeks, but
_a whole year_ is pretty darned amazing.  I mean, who could read the volume of
mail this list generates and not say a word. Wow!

     Alas, the same problem comes up as hindered Ruth in her search
for your brownies via Nancy.  A lack of money for transportation.
Perhaps another time.
