Co., Everett, WA Lines: 46 ++ Now I don't normally go in for this kind of thing, but something has been eating away at me for some time now, and I finally decided to speak up about it. 3 - 2 - (Wait--- check 3 again - is that valve open?) What kind of jerk is it who posts articles asking for paths to places? My opinion is that these moronic dodoes are probably closely related to the imbeciles who sign their messages to the net with junk like: {podunk.vax,ssqrl4}kremvac! ------> ubfartblossom!inh4!digit! --------> myhouse!weirdo! k-telvax!fdr!heaven!opcode! -----> Haven't you pitiful troglodytes heard that there is a USENET map of the WHOLE WORLD posted regularly? Don't you know that unix has a command called "path" to assist you in determining the shortest path from your machine to the one you want to post to? For those who are forever requesting path information, why don't you get up off your lazy butt and print out a copy of the map for the region you want to communicate(?) with? And for the nerds who print 8 lines of garbage showing me the direct path into your account, I can't help but wonder what sort of inflated ego you must have that you think it necessary to proclaim in minutest detail the path from every machine in the known universe into your personal account.
