Well, unlike some hackers, I have a few friends that know nothing about
computers.  They have this annoying tendency of thinking (and of course
of expressing their thoughts) that I am crazy to sit in front of a
terminal and read netnews.  Anyway, I finally trotted them down and sat
them in front of a terminal and called up this month's net.jokes.

The first joke was a flame.
So was the second one.  And the third, and fourth.
The fifth one was an honest to goodness joke!
It wasn't funny.  At all.
Several more flames followed, protesting the lone joke.
Now they KNOW I am crazy.

I wish we could start a new subgroup called net.jokes.d for discussion,
but I know this would be unenforcable.  Not that I would personally
unsubscribe, but it just seems that net.jokes should contain jokes.  Or
am I just a sentimental old fuddy-duddy?
