[The following is purported to be an email sent to Jorie by Wayne, in response to a request to not write an article about uiuc.test in the Daily Illini. - Tim, 2003/01/30] From: "Jorie W." Subject: Wayne Ma is a raging alcoholic Newsgroups: uiuc.test Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 10:33:30 -0600 Some people remain unconcerned about the problems of others. Many of them can be found on the campus newsgroup uiuc.test. Here is how they have made use of University bandwidth that is supposed to be for testing news programs. I will let them speak on the world at large by giving you their own words an actions. I wrote about the importance of the environment. Their response: A continued attempt to waste the time of people discussing technology news by intentionally posting irrelevant articles. I wrote about the senselessness of war with Iraq. Their response: A genuine concern -that their favorite TV show is canceled. I wrote about the distribution of wealth in South Africa. Their response: Smoke Weed. I wrote about the exploitation of natural resources in the third world. Their response: a discussion of the statistics on how frequently they post messages to the group. I wrote about the dangers of exporting genetically modified foods. Their response: A mocking message about GM cars written with the coherency of a four year old. If you want the rest you can read it at the same time as everyone else.
