This is another way of saying "until the heat death of the universe, or the demise of USENet, whichever comes last" (UtHDotUotDoUWCL). Either: 1) comp.unix.wizards will be revived, in which case the wizard-wannabes will all go back to posting their trivia there and complaining long and loud about all the newbie postings the name "wizards" seems to attract, or 2) comp.unix.wizards will have a stake driven through its heart and be buried at a crossroads at midnight, in which case the calls for its revival will spring up an average of every two months UtHDotUotDoUWCL. or 3) the wizard-wannabes will go somewhere and make their own private net, where they can go hide their lack of potty training and exchange notes of congratulation with each other UtHDotUotDoUWCL. Not a pretty prospect. Kent, the man from xanth.
