- Or perhaps the University of Chicago needs to crack down on the time
- wasted by their students and employees? I am not a student at DU. I'm an
- employee of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA, and have no homework to do.
-
- I proposed alt.fan.cows BECAUSE (draw deep breath here), there is rather a
- large chunk of the net that passes around ASCII art of cows, tells cow
- jokes, tells funnies about so-called "Cow conspiracies", and so forth.
- Anyone who's ever seen a 100k file of cow art come past on their newsfeed
- knows what I mean. I'm serious about this group, as opposed to my
- sarcastic calls for other newsgroups such as "alt.dev.null.mnemonics."
-
- Don't knee-jerk out the ad hominen attacks the very first thing, m'dear.
- Wait for someone to make a flaming and idiotic statement such as "I think
- a COW GROUP is NECESSARY and YOU'RE just Prejidiced [sic] aginst COWS" first.
