i think there's maybe some extra idled's running:
Wed Feb 26 21:10:00
This terminal has been idle 15 minutes. If it remains idle
for 5 more minutes it will be logged out by the system.

I've installed Backtalk 1.2.10 on Grex. As usual, it contains quite a
few changes that aren't particularly noticable or relevant on Grex. But
some are more interesting.
Abalone has had some more minor tuning up. The biggest new thing is
that it now has a fairly decent spell checker. You need to have a
Javascript-capable browser to be able to use the Abalone spell checker,
and it runs rather slowly on Grex. Also since Grex runs ispell rather
than aspell, this lists of suggested correct spellings for each
mispelled word tend to be rather short. I still want to work on this,
adding the ability to maintain private dictionaries.
Abalone's "Goto Conference..." and "View Response Range..." commands
should now give a pop-up box much faster. Instead of doing an HTTP
request to Grex to generate the box, they are generated from Javascript.
There is some overhead in being ready to do this, so only these two
pop-up boxes are generated this way. The rest still do an HTTP request
to Grex.
In HTML postings, things like conf:action and http://www.unixpapa.com
are automatically clickified, just as they are in plain text postings.
They are not clickified if they are already inside a <A>..</A> tag. You
can also enter things like <A HREF="conf:enigma">Enigma</A> and have
them work. There have been many other small changes to the handling of
HTML.
Several bugs have also been fixed. Probably new ones have been
introduced to take their place. Let me know if you find any of the
latter.

Privet Rossii. You have already chosen a name which people will see if they
want to 'talk' (chat) with you - carnaily. I don't understand the question.
Regarding junk mail (Ann Arbor Quarterly), which the sender claims is sent
out using a list of addresses from Advo, which insists that they took me off
their list, someone clever in Belleview just discovered that they have one
list which they use themselves at Advo, and another list sold by a branch of
Advo on the east coast, from which they apparently do not remove addresses
that are removed from the locally used list. He will forward my addresses
to the east coast. A case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand
is doing (and also of the publisher of the junk mail not bothering to do
anything about people's requests to get off his list). I forwarded the mail
from Advo to Webco Press (which prints the junk mail for Crown) and asked them
to forward it to Crown so that they will have the correct address to which
to send requests to remove names from the east coast Advo list. What a
tangled web! (Crown does not reply to phone calls or have an email address,
Webco tries to be helpful).
