- I *READ THE DOCUMENTATION*.
-
- It was on our system , although we had no news feed.
- Looking thru the list (I may have done a "grep -i homo" n it)
- I found net.motss.
-
- 3 years later I found a computer that had a feed that
- actually INCLUDED soc.motss. Not having an account, I did
- a more on all the articles in /usr/spool/news/soc/motss, and
- from posting one kept on after that (well for a few weeks).
-
- I de-muffined 48 hours later by asking someone (Paul)
- to post for me...
-
- In the Fall I got an account here (well actually at mit)
- and re-entered soc.motss in the middle of the "John and Phillip"
- flamewar (#1). I wonder if those two bastions of queer-moral-righteousness
- are still the same idyllic couple on the pedestal they wanted us
- to build for them....
-
- Sigh - memories...
-
- BBC - wanting to keep "motss" as the name.
