I think the beauty of the net is the utter chaos with which packets of data (hm...) zing across the country with no particular destination. Perhaps the newsgroups are just an artifact of Man's desire to bring order to the inherent disorder of the net. But isn't that just like us humans? How dare we constrain the creative process by mere propriety? Is there no longer respect for the stochastics of human thought? ...No, I didn't think so. Oh, well. Perhaps I'm just a maverick -- I sort of enjoy the current firefights in net.sources. Makes my morning a little spicier. So, please, if you are flaming in another newsgroup, by all means continue! Reject the imposed order of the net.faschistas. Up with stochastics! (And remember, as Evelyn pointed out so succinctly, that Art imitates Freud.) This meta-meta-flame has been brought to you by the end of Evelyn C. Leeper's patience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ray Lubinsky University of Virginia, Dept. of Computer Science uucp: decvax!mcnc!ncsu!uvacs!rwl *** REPLACE THIS MESS WITH YOUR LINEAGE ***
