We were, this weekend, discussing whether to simply remove Brad as moderator of rec.humor.funny. Although we decided to wait a bit before taking such action, we noted that several qualified and willing moderators were available. Thus it is probably safe to say that regardless of what Brad cares to do with his football, rec.humor.funny will not be leaving usenet, conventional or otherwise. -- Greg Laskin greg@gryphon.COM !gryphon!greg gryphon!greg@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov
