Punch line of an old joke.  Supposed to mean 'bullshit' in some

I guess so. And hasn't a great deal if not *most* slaughter been by
people who professed to believe in G-d - which is not important,
the important fact is that is was THEIR G-d they believed in. One can
argue that these people didn't REALLY believe in G-d (whichever again)
but the evidence, apart from their own say-so - to support this
would be rather hard to produce.

And speaking of Bibles and such - what's the latest in story of the Bible being
banned in, I believe, some suburb or Chicago??? by some presumably
religious-feeling folks who think it's too full of sex, prostitution,
murder and mayhem to be in the school library as a reference! (these
are the same folks, I believe, who had caused the banning of -Catcher-
and -Huck Finn- in the same school district)...[I'd often wondered how
long it would be before some of these religious folks would see the Bible
in this light!]

Around here the same sort of folks have targeted some of the classics
of Can literature (eg -The Bear-). All in the name of G-d!...(I consider
myself a spiritually aware person and a believer in G-d, but don't get me
going..)

     DPL does not need defending.  They are mighty fine folks with
whom I have never had a problem.  Auraria does not fall into such a
catagory, and is not likely to in my view.  Yes, there is a neat and
nifty security system.  I will not discuss specifics, but the holes in
the Auraria security system are appropriate for driving large vans
through, and that is without dismantling the book.

     If a little more was done to make the place more secure than
Swiss cheese, I would calm down a couple of degrees.  If the staff
seemed a little more concerned (especially since at least 1/3 of my
searches turn out to be for books that have found other homes) I would
calm down a bit.  And if the reason given last night hadn't been,
"Well, they were going to reclassify that section and probably just
haven't gotten around to updating CARL (the electronic card file).", I
could have been much more understanding.

> Anyway, yell in class at the dumb assholes who assault our libraries....

     I understand that these are the culprits.  I just get the
impression that Auraria doesn't give a damn.  This is fairly standard
in a lot of the 'shared' resources.  Auraria isn't particularly held
responsible by the three educational institutions on campus because
they have no alternative to Auraria services, by law.  Grumph.  I have
to stop talking about this before I get put in the Curmudgeon Corner.

At the request of Mr. -ggs, we have reviewed our files and find
the following complete exchange between what appears to be a
post by Mr. T.Samant and Mr. -ggs.  If the post by Mr. Samant
was in fact apochryphal, as Mr. Samant seems to suggest, then
we accept no responsibility for this deplorable error, and we
find it necessary to inquire why this fact was not pointed out
at the time.  Mr. -ggs asks that the readers pardon the necessary
reprinting of his offensive language, being as he is now in a
state of making every effort to avoid any untoward behavior.
Thanking you for your attention, we remain F & G, Accountants

I sometimes wonder why the principal roflers on this list never say ROFL

were in the habit.

Or does ROFL have a shade of meaning which makes it applicable only to

Subject:      bored of the survey, eh?

So now everyone's BORED of the survey, eh? Just a paddy-plucking picosecond,
folks. I am slightly surprised that the topic has turned sour NOW. And this
is where I find myself getting a bit angry for the first time.

It was pretty good fun to vote for people, wasn't it? The thrill of voting
most unpleasant, dumbest questions, dullest life, was delicious to partake of.
It was a great way to make your opinions felt. Alternatively, it was a good
chance to make flippant answers.

Please think about this: what is the qualitative difference between asking
for votes and asking for who voted what? My "meta-survey" is just a way to
illustrate that point. NEVER BLOODY FEAR, I am not going to conduct it,
which of course you should have known if you had picked up any goddamned
clues from the postings I have been making.

I had warned that I will try to make people very sorry that they ever voted.
That was mostly joking. But I am not letting anyone go all that easily, OK?
However silly all those statistical surveys of WFF polls were, it IS true
that a lot of people had no compunction in voting for other wordslers in any
damn category. And that's a thing a lot of people consider as not very nice.

If I HAD started this stupid "meta-game", I am sure a lot of information would
have come out. If I guessed X said I was unpleasant, any reaction or no reaction
is going to give me a whole lot of information, OK?

I don't want to raise the ghost of "newbie" again, but I would like to mention
that I am of the older generation. There was a time when any kind of clowning
etc would be taken and understood in the proper context. "Knowing" the person
was important and it played a role. People don't want to keep introducing them-
selves continually to newbies before slipping back into a familiar mode where
more freedoms can be taken.

And it IS important to get to understand people on the list to understand what
they are saying and how. Somehow that seems to be disappearing altogether.

This doesn't mean I want to unsubscribe. Only the weak are killed and eaten, as
you know. But if it's fun to vote for people, why not get a taste of being
voted for, too?

This is not directed against ggs. When he suggested his atrocious idea, I said
what I thought of it by posting my "votes". YOU ALL had that choice, or that of
ignoring it. Yet a lot of you voted.

And what's best, there were some who took all this SERIOUSLY. That's the lack
of basic understanding that I am talking about.

Enough of solemn preaching, and we will get back to our regular clowning. At
least, after one more preachy letter about the strange case of Santa :-) Anyway,
stop being bloody hypocritical, whoever you are.
