Grex Info Item 142: Problem with TIN?
Entered by vishnu on Wed Apr 27 17:07:28 UTC 1994:

HMmmmmm...  Look:

$ tin
tin 1.2 PL2 [UNIX] (c) Copyright 1991-93 Iain Lea.
Connecting to condor.ic.net...
condor.ic.net: Unknown host.
Failed to connect to NNTP server condor.ic.net. Exiting...
$

Methinks this is bad.

22 responses total.

No, it just means the NNTPserver is screwed up on the other end.
Maybe the computer is down, or their's a problem with the link.
It should be fixed soon.

Oh.  Feel free to kill this item.

#3 of 22 by remmers on Thu Apr 28 00:24:07 1994:

Why kill it?  I think folks should feel free to use it to discuss
their views on gun control, abortion, the war on drugs, Clinton's
health care plan, Microsoft, political correctness, Bosnia, Nixon,
the elections in South Africa, Michael Jackson, Whitewater,
and welfare.

Ok, why not?  I think maybe we should just kill everyone 
on earth and see what happens.

You're crimminally insane.  I find it much better to be insane, but moral.

Well said, popcorn.

Sorry.  My dog remapped my keyboard.
Just Kidding, it was jo' mama!

Angie grandpappy.

re #2: actually, vishnu, you can freeze this item at any time.

       No, really, you can!

       I'm not kidding! All you have to do is type "freeze" at the
       "Respond or pass?" prompt!

       Not with the quotes, silly!

       :) :) :)

#16 of 22 by vidar on Sun May 1 14:57:56 1994:

Or you could do it without even looking at the responses by doing the
same thing at the "OK:" prompt.

#17 of 22 by vishnu on Sun May 1 17:31:38 1994:

Yeah.  Shall I?  Hmmmmmmm... nah.

#18 of 22 by carson on Sun May 1 18:37:13 1994:

Respond or pass? freeze
You can't do that!

(I figured it was worth a shot...)

#19 of 22 by vishnu on Sun May 1 18:55:15 1994:

I think only me, the fws, and the confadm has the power.

#20 of 22 by bubbles on Sun May 1 22:04:45 1994:

#19 agrees with my WELL experience.  Topics (items) can be frozen (or 
thawed) by the person who started the topic, the host(s) of the conf it
is in, or other high mucky-mucks. 

But I think linked topics can be frozen only by the starter.

#21 of 22 by vishnu on Mon May 2 02:00:58 1994:

Hah hah, I think i'll freeze this, then maybe thaw it and freeze it every other
day.

#22 of 22 by remmers on Thu May 5 03:23:15 1994:

And regardless of what you do, folks who don't want to see this item
again can type "forget" at the next "Respond or pass".
