I wish to have uucp connectivity to a reliable site on the Internet.  I
am tentatively looking at a TCP/IP connection for next summer.

We currently collect most of a full feed, but have one site feed e-mail
and another for news.  We need to have connections that allow us to receive
a full feed in a timely manner.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

I have tried the ftp list some times... the descriptions are too
out of date to be usefull.

The archie system is better, because the archive sites maintain
the lists, not some voluntary person xyz who has no time
to check the sites. And there are dates..

I just logged in to a Finnish archie server:

Why not Freenet? It has access to Usenet, Internet mailing, etc.
Dial up 1-216-368-3888. You may need to register as a new user
to access Usenet (which may take a little while until your password
is sent) but it is well worth it. It is free (xcept phone). 
If you want something more, or can be more specific what exactly you 
are looking for that Freenet doesn't have, let me know and I will
try and get you the info.

Those wanting to access The World from area code 408 (San Jose,
California) or neighboring communities should also consider my service
"a2i".  A six-month subscription is only $12/month with no connect time
fees.  Once you dial up (v.32bis/v.32 or PEP) you can access the World
(and the Internet in general) via telnet.  Send mail to info@rahul.net

Yeah, it seems that Arizona is the only state with more than one
alt.angst reader.  Is there really so little angst in other states?
Or are most people in a state of such delirious bliss that they are 
completely unaware of the seething misery lurking just below that
polished veneer?  That turgid suffering long repressed that, once
released, results in a mad slaughter of one's co-workers with a
chainsaw, whereupon all who survive say:  "I never suspected...."

Hey, the persons living the furthest away, literally, not metaphorically,
should rent busses, and pick up other interested persons along the way.  
Say one bus leaving from the West Coast, one from the East, maybe
one from the North, and those of you who have to fly are on your own.
Each person contributes in proportion to the distance travelled.  Those 
getting on in the South are not allowed to pay with live farm animals.

At the end of The Yellow Brick Road.... well....

It isn't anywhere else really. In so-called alternative places you

I didn't realize there were different covers.  Unfortunately I found I had 
about zero identification with the book.  I agreed with the critical review in
the _Globe & Mail_ and not with the rather positive one in _Maclean's_.  
Coupland's angst must be somewhat alleviated by the fact that both 
_Generation X_ and _Shampoo Planet_ are on the _Globe & Mail_'s bestsellers
list.

I have it on good authority that I am impossible to live with.  What
with my bad habits of coming home at 6 AM, and sleeping under tables,
eating with my fingers, wearing the same greasy t-shirt and shredded
jeans for years on end, and my grotesquely deformed beer gut from which 
vile odours emananate as a result of the accumulation of noxious chemicals
between the folds of flesh.  And then there are my bad habits, like leaving
limburger cheese sandwich leftovers in bed for months at a time.....
And the rather low frequency with which I vacuum. Oh, yeah, and sex.... 
I never let those wimmin rest....

You must be kidding?  Our American Legion is The Cocaine Capitol of 
East Tennesseee.  You can get any kind of illcit substance you want there.
The parking lot is full of Harleys, and very large trucks and beaten up cars.
The place is full of bikers.  You can get killed there for having the
wrong accent, or at least severely mutilated. And this is one of the
more civilized places in town.   Which is why the Lab Geeks at the Oak
Ridge National Lab stay home all the time.

That's why I go there. It's a tantalizingly entertaining animal show.
Sort of like the Roadhouse that Patrick Swayze, aka Dalton, was hired
to protect in the movie of the same name.

It would suck! Trust me, us men are all slobs. Honestly, it's true, even the

Summary: Warning - this post contains cheap stereotypes. So sue me.

Seeing as we're discussing how incomprehensible women *truly* are while men
remain totally sane, I thought I'd share the following observation:

I was at a Shona Laing gig here in Palmy tonight. Good performance (although
the mix was slightly less than perfect). There seemed to be a
disproportionate number of overall-wearing women with short haircuts in the 
crowd[1]. While rubbernecking between songs, I noticed something odd about a
short attractive blonde standing by the bar, about the way she was scanning
the crowd. Then it clicked - she was checking out the *women*.

No big deal. But what was funny was the way she'd watch women walking in
front of her - tracking their movements as they approached and then dropping
her gaze to stare directly at their ass as they passed. And I realised that
men look just like this when they're doing the same thing - just as blatant
and tacky. That's when I started laughing.

Gee debbie, if your idea of a desirable evening is doing your laundry,
no wonder you're in such a foul mood....

Stop that!  That's the sign of a herd creature, someone who is unable or afraid
to think for themself. But maybe I'm being too harsh here (I'm starting to 
sound like one of those Libertarian types that have all of Ayn Rand's books
in hardcover)

What I'm trying to say is you really do need to believe in yourself.
Otherwise, you're not a whole individual, not truly independant.

Think of a rock concert where everyone sings along with certain lyrics.
15000 people screaming the same thing in unison...now that's social 
reinforcement.  Sometimes, to remind me that I'm a thinking individual
I'll make a point of not singing.

Actually, my favorite way of asserting my individuality is to assault
herd behavior in public.  When I find myself in a crowd of people bunched
up at a door or gate at a ball game, concert or fire drill I'll just
make a few cattle noises... [mooooooooooooo]
