has anyone out there heard of a "project artichoke" that was
 conducted by the cia, starting in the 40's ? it was part of a
 documentary on the arts and entertainment network.... the show was
 covering the death of Robert Kennedy.... they tried to put some
 theory together saying Sirhan Sirhan was possibly part of this
 project.... "artichoke" was supposed to create a political assasin
 through the use of mental and physical torture..... hey, i thought we
 didn't do stuff like that (snicker).............cya

The regular expression that you are seeking is perhaps .*@psuvm.psu.edu,
since it really does have a subdomain. Your expression would match any
number of spaces, then one character; so it would not match, say,
"bdw115@psuvm.psu.edu," which happens to be my (ikky) userid there.

This is, of course, assuming that you use real (tm) regular expressions.

I should mention that your posts contain many of the maladies that are
common from my favorite boat anchor. These include the ignorance of
punctuation, 79 and 80 column lines, an annoying signature, and terrible
sentence structure. Others would be multiple email addresses in the .sig and
an overwhelming desire to stereotype.

However, it does not appear that you are using your brother's Commodore 64
to post news at this time, though. Feel happy.

    When I asked about this, the answer I got was along the lines of this...
 We do not feel that muds are a part of the educational environment
 that we wish to provide... muds tie up the lines, and if I dare say... most
 do not consider them educational. The person I talked to did not know if
 a few individuals did screw things up for everyone else, or how PSU feels
 about any sensitive material in the muds.. I do know that the d&d group
 here on campus uses the muds a lot..If you wish you can write to me and I
 will refer your letters to him...I have no authority to speak for PSU...
 nor do I know the entire story.

I can agree that a good share of stupid posts come from PSU..however,
as you know..stupid posts come from other places as well.. I think sometimes
people just want to start a flame war.  I personally use my account for
independent study, and creativity. I do not try to start flames or post silly
discussions...

It's too bad my fellow classmates do not use the gift they are given
seriously...You can clearly see posts that are flames or are just plain
silly...if you find this to be the case, then don't respond to them..
But don't just assume that PSU students abuse the net...

Does it really matter what reg exps I use.  Btw do use the ones provided by
BSD 4.3 (which are as real as you can get).

Well, speaking as the person who's idea this was, actually it was dribble
of about this quality that I was aiming for.  I was, however, hoping for

douchebag.* groups.

Big Al.  You *do* know why I'm called that, right?
