I'm wondering if they are still reading this item? It seems to me that lack
of response is more not following the discussion rather than malicious "I see
what you're writing, and I'm ignoring it." It's not much better to forget
the item, but if you want a response, it might be better to mail them and tell
them the topick has been reopened.

I wonder the same thing. A lack of response from the fws here says much, to
me at least.

Well, the attitude he took to the whole party thing was the one I
expressed aboove, whether or not he actually made the changes, he sure
had no intention of listening to why some peopl didn't like them.
Moreso, he offered nothing but comparing those who didn't like the change
to dinosaurs, old and in need of modernazation. *That* is all I am
calling to note.
And if he has forgotten an item in this conference, one that directly
involves him, that is inexcusable.

Gee, I think nephi and I will still have something to talk about
when I see him. =) This makes, what, my third call?
Hey, TS, you up for coffee? I might as well talk to you while I'm at it.

Is there a version of that to apply to individual conferences?

whats the difference between an "observer" and a "fair witness"

an observer cannot enter items or responses. a fairwitness is a fairwitness.
(Observer is a state between not joined and joined, if remember correctly.)

oh, then since all confs except staff are open, there are no "observers"
on grex?

It is possible to join an open conference as an observer. There isn't much
of any reason to do it, unless you don't want to leave any record on the
system that you ever read it.

I was under the impression you couldn't even observe a closed cf?

but this one is the only cf I don't wanna see the login screeb of!
I mean, thank you, popcorn, for telling us how, but it's just a
little too broad-reaching.

I kinda like it. It also doesn't tell you "x newresponse items," so
it leaves some mystery as to how active a conference has been. :-)

Well, you *could* write your own pager - using C, awk, or other tool of your
choice - which will recognize this one login screen & suppress it, otherwise
passing everything on via pipe into your normal pager or to stdout. You'd
then install this as your pager for Picospan (or this piped into your normal
pager). Depending on how your custom pager recognized the login screen,
changes to it would cause it to suddenly show up again.
This seems like an awful lot of work to turn the login screen into a bulletin,
which is what this one should be in the first place, but it *could* be done.

seems fairly straight-forward to do. you'd have to set up "linmsg" to
display everything you'd usually see (I'm not sure of the variables),
along with the name of the conference as an initial line, much the way
the twit filter headers must be set up. from their, you can twit the
conferences where you don't want to see the login screen.
I agree, it's a bit much, and I think it's more trouble than it's worth
to me, but that's roughly how I'd do it.
re #238: I actually do that quite often.

*Is* there a variable to show the current cf name?

I just typed help sep, and am now more thoroghly in the dark than before.
I must say, this is awfully user-intensive in its approach, when in
reality there should have been a proper change to this screen more than a
month ago.

for the record, i read every character typed into coop - often more
then once. my opinion is that it is the fw job to do so.

What does this have to do with malicious poetry? Have the vogons been
informed that this has been linked so many times that the original purpose
has been lost? I mean, i don't mind reading about the coop and everything, it's
just I could get there in other ways. This is not meant to be a flame. Just
some idle <curiousity>(Sap?)

Thank you for sharing. We at the Accordion Conference are
pleased to assist the Grex Community in any way possible. If there
are any other offensive logins, feel free to drop us a note
and we'll try to link the pertinent topics.
