To the Attention of Warren Toomey (and all who stay in his hotel): I don't care enough to weigh in on any issues that don't interest me, but I am the most important person in the world, and whatever I say goes, so you better listen or you'll be sorry. It is my very important opinion that only things I want to hear about should be discussed on this mailing list. I want to hear about Unix and awk, but not about perl. No one must talk about any shell except Ken's original. The sun scares me, forcing me to hack all night and sleep all day (never mind the malicious stories that I press wild flowers); therefore there must never be any mention of Sun Microsystems or Solaris. I am also worried that a comet will fall on my house and damage my Twinkie stockpile, so no discussion of the VAX-11/750 is allowed, nor of work done by the Bell Labs Computing Science Research Center during the 1980s when much of their work was done on systems of that model, which were even named (ewwwww!!!) after comets. Any mention of non-nerd-approved(TM) subjects is also forbidden, including Agricola, ferrets, mimes (which are even scarier than comets!), Lions (and Tigers and Bears), lurgi, csv files, and gannets (they wet their nests). Not to mention Bazonka. I hereby direct the moderators of this list, who must obey my every command, to terminate with extreme prejudice anyone who dares even to think of violating these rules.
