Would it be possible for someone to just set up the proper software and
let the rest of us copy it and make a few changes? Post instructions on
how to do this somewhere suitable? (Twit filter for dial-ins or telnets).

I don't understand Russ' request. Are you trying to "archive" these confs
so that no one can write to them, read them, copy them?

He's reacting to willard and jp2's contest to have the "last" item in all the
old agoras as well as the current one.

PFfft. At least they've found a playground that no one else is playing on.

Re #40: Ah. Didn't realize you'd added user filtering to
Backtalk. I presume that came with the last upgrade?

Thanks, Mark. But Willard's postings have been hilarious recently and nobody
else has been doing anything offensive in this agora. I will at least be
prepared if there is another epidemic of pointless postings.

Backtalk has had 'ignore lists' (AKA 'bozo filters' AKA 'twit filters')
since version 0.9.12, which was released on April 19, 1999.

The BoD Minutes will not be posted until late next week, due to me going out
of town. I really don't have the time or energy tonight to spend at least
an hour on the posting.
Sorry guys.

Re #43: Removing write permissions from the directory makes it
impossible to add (or remove) files from it. In other words,
the entry of new items is blocked at the filesystem level. The
files within the directory can still be read, written and expanded.
(The number of blatant misunderstandings of this rather simple
Unix feature surprised me. Well, maybe not rcurl's.)
This makes a great deal of sense. How meaningful is it to have
a last-item competition if there is no finality?

Much better than having a first-item competition in the current agora.

Ahh.. But can the users pek *AROUND* the filter - in order to figure out
wtf _others_ are writing about?
