- Mail!
- +---+
-
- Looking on the local BBS's and checking out the internet newsgroups,
- there are quite a few virus related mail spots. Some consist of
- people asking what the weather is like, and how the sports back home
- are, and some are just plain full of AVers who believe that I am a
- murderer.
-
- NuKEnet seems to have gone into a demise of late, we have a slight
- feed problem here I think (no one else agrees), but when the mail
- does get through there is hardly anything worth reading. Same also
- with CRISnet, there seems to be nothing coming through except the
- occasional person asking what is a virus, and where can I get VCL2.
-
- The echos carried on the Fidonet backbone (other than nuke_the_world)
- all are a loss in some way. VIRUS, VIRUS_NFO, VIRUS_INFO .. each
- have their own traits which makes them pretty much a shit place to
- post. VIRUS and VIRUS_INFO, well I'd say it's the moderators that
- suck there, and of course all the AVers who descend upon anyone
- making the slightest statement that viruses are not evil and do not
- kill people.
-
- As for VIRUS_NFO, well.. heh, if you're looking for plenty of gung-ho
- supposed krad VX d3wds this might be the place to look. There are
- plenty of people here asking for viruses and chuckling about the last
- cross posting of XXXnet messages to the AV echos. Nope, in general
- I just don't bother with any of them.
-
- On internet there was only one newsgroup dealing with viruses and
- this is comp.virus, this is pretty much heavily moderated and you
- can pick up your favourite virus-l digests here (hahaha). Definately
- not a place for free expression of viral thought.
-
- Yesterday (well it was when i wrote this) a new newsgroup was
- created alt.comp.virus which will be unmoderated and not just another
- AV channel which they can blab through. It has yet to spread but
- I guess it will get places eventually.
-
- Nup, when it comes to mail I say just about forget it, come to
- IRC and meet the people you've been mailing all this time :). It's
- a much better way to stay in touch with people. heh.. I wonder
- if the sysop of the bbs i'm on censors his mail.. you never know..
- perhaps that's why everything seems like crap.
