Grex Accordions Item 142: Fit for the Pit: The Well does not Rock anymore (here's y)
Entered by font on Tue Jul 15 02:00:02 UTC 1997:

The well should learn from grex....They are too corparate!
They want to shut off *mdw*'s login there.  They sent us some silly
stationary that was just trying to be funky but failed.  It did not even
have a human signature.  This is especially lame considering that mdw was
mentioned in wired in connection with them...(rather lame, yes).  
Come to think of it, wired may have reminded them that mdw had an account
in the first place.  Nice going, Well smell!

23 responses total.

Ps...if there are any more grumps to be had, place them here, or defend the
well (if you dare  :-)

Grex gives me too much to do as it is, so I have never dipped into the 
well. I only ow that they have more money than grex, because they don't 
beg from, but rather bill their users.

This probably means that grex has more interesting people.
It certainly means that Grex is a pain, because it is so slow.

Well MDW should yank picospan from the Well if they cut him off.  After all
he did write the code for it...

#4 of 23 by remmers on Tue Jul 15 16:55:03 1997:

Yes, but The WELL owns a license for Picospan, so Marcus can't
do that.

Hey, if Marcus still has a login there, maybe font could log
into it and explain this sordid situation to The WELL's
customers.

interesting sugestion, if the mdw meister had not forgotten his password.
Besides, marcus feels that if the Well is dumb enough to do that,
then it is not worth the effort to let them know.
<font is in the middle, but has to gripe somewhere (the word being for Free)>

Any system that has <mdw> is indeed lucky.

Jelly has got to be the best conference on the
entire net.

Someday, child, Great Programmers  will come to grex,
bringing with them HUGE ISDN line and GUI interfaces.

When that day comes, the symbols "<" and ">" will
indicate an automatic clickable link.

For example, <mdw> will be, in reality, 
<a href="mailto mdw@cyberspace.org"</a>
or even
<a href="finger mdw@cybersapce.org"</a>
