- The most flagrant waste of bandwidth ever conceived! I quote the following
- article:
-
- Article 82 in alt.discordia:
- Organization: University of Maine System
- Date: Saturday, 14 Nov 1992 15:44:07 EST
- From: <IO20650@MAINE.MAINE.EDU>
- Newsgroups: alt.config,alt.discordia
- Subject: PROPOSAL: Alt.Spam
- Lines: 5
-
- We of the Spam loving minority wish a Newsgroup of our own. We want a place
- where Spam can be slung freshly everyday, for all to see and gawk at!. We are
- perfectly serious. We only want ONE measly alt group, not the many, many that
- our sla...er members suggested. Spamists arise! Post your support for all to
- screem at!!
- End of article 82 (of 82)--what next? [npq]
-
- The mindless waste!!!! Arrrgghhh! And ever WWIV BBS in my area has two or three
- subs dedicated to spam anyway! (not to mention how silly it is to post it to
- alt.discordia.)
