Message-ID: <1659@gondor.UUCP> Date: Thu, 4-Apr-85 12:26:45 EST Article-I.D.: gondor.1659 Posted: Thu Apr 4 12:26:45 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 7-Apr-85 03:53:11 EST Distribution: net Organization: The Church of The SubGenius. Lines: 20 Xref: watmath net.flame:9125 net.news:3331 net.news.group:3017 I just read an ad for MCI on net.general. That's right, a complete ad for MCI!! It even had an order form and an address to which to mail it!! That pisses me off! What the hell is going on around here?! I read news to get away from it all. Not to have all dragged around after me! I thought I was pissed when the put ads before movies in the theaters, but that is nothing compared to what I feel over this. In my anger, I started to post this without writing down the poster's name, id, etc. But it was note #1915 on net.general. I think action must be taken against this person! Can you ban someone from ever posting again? If not, I think the person should just be killed! What an obuse of a public information system. I want to see lots of replies to this and maybe a petition gotten up for the execution of this person! Ok, I've had my say. -- I don't practice what I preach because I am not the type of person I'm preaching to. Michael S. Weiss BITNET: weiss@psuvaxg.bitnet
