That's funny. When I type BBS, I get an error message, while bbs puts
me in spring agora. (This may have been fixed in the last two hours - but
prior to that I was using    conf   to go to *spring* agora.)

Wow -- I missed a spot when I rolled over agora.  It's fixed now.

Maybe that's what was causing all the newbies the problems?

First - amoco - are you one of the "Seven Sisters"? - anyway, welcome
from a real old newbie. Saving my pennies so I can join and vote 
in all the Grex elections.  Power mad!  Join with me and we can
control this organization.  Of course, why would we want to?

I have noticed a very strange reaction to character-printing.
I don't ahve time to describe it, but ^w seems to miss characters
and I have to rewrite the line to see what to type next. Hmmm, guess
I did have time to describe it ... - nighty-night.

Hm.  Were you having line noise at the same time as you were seeing that?

no, no line noise, just the weird character droppings ...

I ran across some old e-mail from the founding of Grex.
If you're interested in reading it, type:
        !menumore /u/popcorn/oldstuff/*
(and keep in mind that it's very specific to valerie's perspective,
not at all a generic overview)

Beginning to refer to yourself in the 3rd person??  Not a good sign....  :-)

Maybe because it's Valerie-as-she-was-way-back-then?

In any case, speaking as someone who was there, the stuff's an
interesting blast from the past.

        I've heard of a new open-unix system out of some western state,
that calls itself "Compublurb"..

The minimalist succinctness was breathtaking.

Grex is a text-based group consensual hallucination with an community-like
awareness but no evident sentinence or consciousness. 

tho i could be wrong. :]
I wonder if anyone will ever read this............

Unfortunately, almost everyone will.

   I like that.

response 73 of 156: Mark Unseen   Apr 29 14:20 UTC 1995

People *appear* to be reading it, but has anyone considered that Grex
might simply be an eliza-like entity with most of the users being
simulated by the computer?

Why would you think that, remmers?
