Looks like davel handed it to helmke, who didn't really acknowledge
it (#'s 120-125). Grex's board should dock them both a week's pay!

I've taken it back, & am waiting for an answer to a question before setting
it up. It kind of flew by me originally, I'm afraid.
Whenever the proposers get back to me with the needed info, I'll set it up,
since their comments (here & in mail to Scott as cfadm) indicate they're still
interested.

I think it got handed to me when I was in Alabama for a week working 12-14
hour days. Sorry about not doing anything about it, I was probably too
brain-fried when I got back and only skimmed my mail.

Thats OK Scott--people just like crabbing a little. ;-) Actually,
I'm interested in it too, since I am azamed at the video things that
can be done with it.

Um, oh, it's done, BTW. I hadn't realized Scott was gone until after
it was awfully late in the process; I suggested letting him do it only
because I'd done a couple in a row.

Uhm, do you think we should have an M-Net General conference here, for
when M-Net is down and a lot of M-Netters are here? ;)

Not really, since it should only be down a couple of days more.
If it was like the "Great Blackout" of 1985 when M-Net was offline
for two weeks, that would be different. But even then, I'd bet that
Arbornet would rather get a linux or BSD box together and come up
with an 'alternate' M-Net for people to use.

repeat my previous marks with ??? at the end and m-net altrenate? here, I don't
think so like steve said it'll only be a few more days.

Why not? Assume the worst. They'll have to get another disk, and
build everything from scratch. Everything from the last backup would
be lost, of course, but I assume that there is a way to take a BSDI
system from tape and roll it back onto a disk, although I don't know
much about the emergency procedures for BSDI. Probably staff time is
the gating item here; if it does take more than a few days, that will
be the reason why.

STeve's right on every particular, except about the backup. We have
everything backed up right up until the crash, except possibly one or two
of the old kernels. Staff time is the clincher here. I will be very
surprised if we don't have M-Net back up by tomorrow.
M-Net people coming to Grex should use Grex as it is; they shouldn't
be expecting or demanding another M-Net. There's no need for an M-Net
general conference on Grex. The Agora is just fine as it is.

Thats really good to hear about the backup situation! Once you
get things up, my only suggestion is to let sendmail (or smail?) run
for a while, unhindered by human telnets. Getting netmeg on for a
feeding session is probably something to consider, too.

Thanks, STeve, for the suggestion. The only trouble is that I don't
know how to restrict telnet sessions for BSDI... strike that, I just
realized I do, too. I'll look into it when we get the system back up.

The tabloid conference has now been absorbed by the melvin conference.
If you have tabloid in your conference list you will end up in Melvin
instead, and all of the tabloid items have been linked into melvin.
Enjoy!

I'd like to propose "liberating" (cool phrase!) the "sex" alias from the
sexuality conference. I think that allowing the sexuality conference to be
joined by something like "join sex" gives the wrong impression as to the
purpose of the sexuality conference.
I'd like to further propose a "cyberflirting" conference, whose purpose
would be a forum for those who like to engage in what is known as
"cyberflirtation" and "cybersex" (although I doubt that the latter would
take place in the conference itself). This conference would assume the
"sex" alias.
It was nice when "sex" was an acceptable shorthand for "sexuality."
However, with our changing demographics, this is no longer functional.
Hence, my proposal.

I agree with Carson's reasons for liberating sex from sexuality.
I have no opinion whatever on the cyberflirtation suggestion, though.

Responding to the earlier suggestion for an ascii art cf, I suggest that
the smiley cf either be renamed, or that some statement be made by the smiley
fw's indicating that other ascii art is welcome there...

I must say, I wouldn't mind seeing someplace else for the "hi i
want to have cybersex will some hot woman please talk to me" items,
other than the Sexuality conference. (I leave them in, partly because
I hate to censor, but mostly because I feel sorry for those who
post such things.)
If you're serious about it carson, then I have two big questions -
(A) Who's going to be the f-w? (Don't look at me!)
(B) How will you prevent minors from joining? As I said, I hate to
censor anything like this, but if we have a conference that says
"COME HERE FOR CYBERSEX!!!" and minors can get in, we're just
begging for trouble. (And even if the conference doesn't contain
any actual c-sex transcripts or items, even if it's limited to
discussion about such, it's still going to bring trouble.)

Forget it carson. j sex is fine shorthand, just like j fuz for
fuzcourt, etc..
You've been going through sexuality, and been a very nasty beast
lately,
trying to force others into your neat little pigeonhole of what YOU want
the cf to be. Tough. plenty of other users there want it like it is.
Maybe YOU should start a new cf.. clinic.cf.. for your rambling
on topics that have long since died in sexuality. There, at least, your
attacks on others for drift would be a *little* justifiable. Others
drift in items in sexuality because they WANT to. You can't change that.

(1) I would be willing to FW a dating/flirting conference. I would ensure
that overt graphic displays would not be allowed. I *would* delete the
inappropriate, quickly. I think that might be where the adult fiction
should go, as well. There would be nothing in the new conf that is not
currently in sexuality, but the two confs. would be split on seriousness.
(2) I have never particularly liked the level of drift in either Sex or
Synth, to name two confs I frequent. I am also a frequent contributor to
it. The drift exists, IMHO, because there are not enough serious threads.
If Carson wants to suggest a serious thread or two, I will gladly engage him
in it. I even promise not to call him too many names. :)
(3) Rob Henderson, not Carson, not Brighn, not anyone else, is the f-w for
Sex, and if he's happy with the way it's running, then so be it. If he isn't,
he should either try to fix it or turn the reins over to someone else. BUt
those of us who are not the f-w should stop debating what the conf is about,
IMHO.

Either that, or do it in the conference itself. I'd think that changes
in the status of an existing conference are best discussed in the
conference itself, at least initially.
