Hey, can you tell me what Metro stop the Midnight Sun is near?
(Okay, I know exactly where the Midnight Sun is, I just wonder if this
guy realizes how widely distributed messages to soc.motss are.)

Would that be the SF Muni Metro or the DC Metro?

An invite to the Midnight Sun posted to Usenet. Cool, that place is packed
like sardines as it is. Should make for easier groping.

to reach people in the SF Bay Area. Now, I realize that many soc.motss

Well, he did say (415,510) in the subject, which are San Francisco Bay
Area area codes.

I thought they were some obscure coordinates or something. I guess
in a way they are. Is this common, to indicate a location by its area
code? I think I might have seen it in, like, personals in the back of
bar rags or something, but besides that it doesn't seem that common.

Hello! It sure was.
John's point was that the original post didn't say that Midnight Sun was in
San Francisco. My point was that John didn't say which Metro he was talking

I don't see any mistake the original poster might have made (except
possibly crossposting it to the ingrates at soc.motss in the first place).
It was clear that the 415 and 510 area codes were in the title. Those of
us who know those area codes knew it was aimed toward us.
I think the person who included soc.motss in the post did so to be sure to
reach SF Bay Area people who might read that newsgroup, not knowing about
ba.motss's existence. (One can't search on "gay" to find ba.motss as they
can to find soc.motss, so I'm sure many people don't know it exists.)

John Whiteside wrote the quoted material below:
" never, ever heard anyone I know in SF talk about "the Metro;" it's
" always "Muni." This is, admittedly, not a scientific sample.
Indeed it is "the Muni", not "the Metro" here. Also, "Muni" is an
abbreviation for "Municipal Railway", not an acronym, so only the first
letter is capitalized. There's a reason why the Muni is called the Muni.
Streetcar systems typically are legacies of earlier eras. Most were
originally private, and thus not "municipal" anything. But the SF Muni
was the first publicly-funded city transit system in the USA. It has
always been a municipal service, never private.

Greg Parkinson wrote the quoted material below:
" Search what?
Just goes to prove my point about soc.motsseurs.
Let's go over this slowly so that even Greg can get it: (1) On most
newsreaders you can search for newsgroups. (2) The search function will
search on both the name of the newsgroup AND the description, since
they're typically saved as one comma-delineated text file. (3) Many
people subscribe to newsgroups based on doing a search of certain key
words.
(4) If you search on the word "gay" your newsreader will stop on groups
such as alt.homosexual and soc.motss because the word "gay" is in the
description part of the entry. (5) It will *not* stop on ba.motss because
the word "gay" is not in the description for ba.motss. (6) Thus, the
people who typically subscribe to ba.motss already know the term "motss",
but it keeps out the riff-raff Jesus creeps because they don't know to
search on "motss". The benefit of not having "gay" in the description is
relative peace and quiet.
(7) There are some lesbigay people in the SF Bay Area who are unaware of
ba.motss because they're not yet attuned to the fact that to find ba.motss
they have to search on "motss" or "Bay Area". Thus, the original poster
likely wanted to include Bay Area lesbigay people who read soc.motss, but
won't see it on ba.motss because they don't subscribe to it.

If you're posting to dc.general and say "Area Code 301" or "Area Code
703" it's a safe bet that people will know what you mean.
If you're posting worldwide it's not such a good bet.
Just to tie threads: what will Maryland's overlay area codes do to
this? Will people have to start typing "301/243?"

test of sanity is the ability to *learn* from one's mistakes. Obviously
it was a mistake to be polite and sincere. People pick on me for it.
Someone I've known for 24 years thinks I'm bitter (or at least, that's
what I infer). Now, they're on full notice that I will *not* be picked
on, and will return fire.
I had a date with some guy a couple months back. He treated me to dinner
at the Patio Cafe. Everything he said was sarcasm. So far, he's dated at
least one other person in my social circle. Obviously, he gets results
with this.

Because you're a loser? Because you don't take enough hormones?
Apparently that's all it takes to get laid. Over the years I've met
people who wanted me to beat them up, people who wanted me to piss on
them, call them names, etc. When I walk down the street in bear-attire I
get these hungry looks, but no action. That's because they discover that
in person I don't act as the fierce person they want. They want an image,
not real life. My best chance of a date, Lon, lives in Los Gatos and I'm
never able to see him. In the meanwhile, I guess I'll just give the
people what they want.
At one point I did S/M professionally. I've never stated this on a
newsgroup before, but it's the truth. It was just a few years ago. In
fact, I was once the oldest person running a personal ad in the B.A.R. in
a sea of 18-20 year olds. It sparked dozens, if not hundreds of
imitators; now more than half such advertisers are over 35. Though I
never even *once* mentioned S/M or any other activity in my ad, nearly
every response I got was from someone who wanted me to whip them, beat
them up, take a dump on them. At $80 to $150 an hour, I said sure...I'll
do that.
In a recent issue of Frontiers was a story about "roid rage", the
situation where people who ingest steroids get so pumped up that they go
out abusing people. One of these guys confessed that he just couldn't get
enough action. People were all over him to pummel them, to fuck them
silly, to do all sorts of mayhem to them. Mister Nice Guy doesn't work.
I think the only reason I'm not willing to try steroids is that they tend
to shrink one's nuts. I'm very proud of my large economy-sized cajones
and prefer not to have them shrink.

so, like, Mark's messsage hasn't made it panix yet
so i don't know what the hell he's talking about
with respect to PBXs, but i wanted to ask a relevant
question.
i've been calling Chrysler all day long registering
my disagreement with their decision to withdraw
advertising from Ellen: The Episode. i figure that any valid voting system
would try to restrict one vote per person, and
since it's an 800 number, one can't block their
phone's identity. however, i've been calling from
within a PBX, and my understanding is that it's
not possible to identify *a* call which originates
inside a PBX, only the PBX can be identified. is
this still true? do you think my 35 phone calls
to date have been recorded?

Dunno. But folks, that number is 1-800-992-1997. Press 1 for "current
media and public relations issues"-- then, press 2 to vote for the Ellen
decision, listen to the message and press 2 to disagree with their
decision to withhold advertising from the episode.

Well, I do sorta have to play sycophant bootlicker to my bosses.
I try to limit that bootlicking to boyish laughter at their

I'm not surprised that someone who goes on and and on and on
and on about how gay people are so critical of others based
on how they look would insult someone based on how they look.
It's obvious who has the problem here and it's not the
guy with the hairpiece.

It is usually still true. Some advanced PBXs transmit the station ID that
originated the call; however this is usually transmitted as CallerID. 800
numers do not record the phone based on CallerID (that's why you cannot
block it). The 800 number owner gets the ANI (Automatic Number
Identification) of the billing trunk. This is done so that the customer can
audit the bill to ensure that the phone company isn't making up calls.
Billing trunks have no correlation to the PBX phone extension used to place
the call.

Context, context, context. Nowhere do you quote anything I supposedly
posted about your posting in soc.motss being a "mistake". In the original
context (which The Oracle Of The Castro, being completely context-impaired,
conveniently deleted to attempt to build his strawman), my post was in
response to the statement you posted in message ID <5k7qao$o17$2...@news.wco.com>,
as follows:
: One
: test of sanity is the ability to *learn* from one's mistakes.
I was questioning your sanity, in view of your inability to learn from
mistakes you've made such as your claims about how certain posters contracted
Hepatitis, how other posters "must be" alcoholics because they deign to
enter a bar periodically, ad nauseum. Being repeatedly refuted does nothing
to deter you from yet again making outlandish and unsubstantiated claims
about others -- claims which can and do border on the defamatory.
In other words, not about the fact that you post to soc.motss; it's about
*what* and *how* you post to soc.motss.

Steve Cogorno <cog...@netcom.com> wrote in article
<cogornoE...@netcom.com>...
Hello,
I worked on a project that worked with 800 numbers and ANIs. In testing
this program, I had to add 4 or 5 of the 24 outgoing line IDs assigned by
the LEC for each trunk to my database. When I dialed from my extension I
and monitored the screen where the program was running I could see the ANI
that was coming in with the 800 number from our PBX. Depending on line
use, I would sometimes get a number that was in the database and sometimes
not. Thus, only calls with ANIs in the database were presented back to the
switch for further routing while the others were presented to the switch
for treatment usually a message like, "Were sorry but your call cannot be
completed as dialed." When the product was released, the companies that
had PBXs had to find out from their LECs what the assigned IDs for their
out going trunks were so they could use the service without interruption.
This same routing scheme was also used to detect fraud on pre-paid calling
card and regular calling card. We had established hourly call limits that
would cause a caller to go to treatment if they called more than
N--depending on the limit established--times from the same ANI. We had a
large Hospital that was using Pre-paid calling cards and we were always
shutting them down until they finally collected all their assigned outgoing
IDs for their trunk lines and we added them to our override database. It
was sort of funny because they had sent us their incoming IDs thinking that
was what the PBX was out-pulsing; however, their outgoing trunks were not
the same. So, in answer to the first posters question, depending on the
number of outgoing trunks your PBX has and the line use, it is possible
that some of your calls could have been rejected by the Chrysler system if
their software was monitoring ANI. Also, it is possible that your outgoing
trunks could all out-pulse the same number; thus, if they are monitoring
the ANI then only your first call was recorded. And in response to the
second poster, we employed this same system for personal 800 which allowed
a user to set-up ANIs that could dial the 800#, for a product called I800
which allowed registered users to dial the 800 number and make
INTERNATIONAL calls at cheaper rates, fraud detection, and call forwarding
sending the call to the appropriate customer service center based on
originating NPA. Thus, the ANI played a far larger role than just
determining if we were getting billed for bogus 800 calls from the RESPORG.

Depending on how the ANI is passed (there are several options) it could
register as your DID extension (your station's phone number). It could
also register as the trunk into your company's PBX. It could also
register as your telco's CO switch. ANI is different from Caller ID (It's

the info may be incomplete. It will at least indicate the local telco's

Do a lot of people actually post questions to ba.motss asking about

Or do they just ask about leather bars in 617?

Sorry, I went for the full model.
I thought my response barely qualified as a "smartass comment,"
actually; I wrote it more as a gentle poke at the often-encountered
assumption of San Franciscans that they live in the center of the
universe.
My first reaction was to think that you were reacting so strongly
because you don't like me; but then Greg's post reminded me that you
don't remember who posts what, so obviously you have no idea who I am
or what I've posted in the past. So maybe you're just a bit unbalanced
in general. Don't worry, I won't take it personally.

Metro, on the other hand, has never been either municipal or private.
Of course, this suggests that the person who asked if I meant the San

The Holland Land Company. Batavia, New York. Earlier land rush.
According to my mother, who's really From Chicago, so doesn't have
a local interest, but who could be wrong.
The third volume of the recently-arrived _Dictionary of American

Indeed, but it has happened more often than I've kept track of. I guess,
we all being high-income upperclass fags and all, we're probably flying

It was a JOKE! Sheesh. What's his problem anyway?
: You *really* have no clue, do you DAK?
And what's HER problem anyway, anyway? Ilona, you of all people should
recognize this particular earworm gone horribly, well, awry. I thought
it was too obvious.. apparently I have only managed to infect myself.
Sorry Morph. Lack of sleep I suppose.

I meant "pull their strings" as the way someone pulls a puppet's strings.
I pull, you respond. And respond they DID. To date the response is still
coming in! What a bunch of dummies.

Lots of nice people have that (go read nl.roze for prove). I think all

Only once? I saw her in a skirt twice, but I wasn't allowed to take
pictures either.
OTOH, there are people who saw me in a dress (and took pictures)

My first reaction to this was to laugh out loud. My second reaction,
on actually scanning the image (figuratively speaking), was to be
very, very afraid.

Well, my newsreader doesn't show newsgroup descriptions so I would
have had to find soc.motss using one of the countless other ways
of searching the internet, which was why I asked what search method
would show up soc.motss as "gay" but not ba.motss.
You're so predictable. It wouldn't occur to *you* to do a search
on "motss" once you learned that it was some sort of acronym associated
with things gay on usenet, so no one would. It wouldn't occur to
*you* to use any search tools other than your newsreader, so no
one would.
Thanks for all the typing, though.

DUH...if I hadn't searched on *.motss I wouldn't have found ba.motss.
However, is is a fact that ba.motss has far less spam (nearly none), and
no rightwing wackos. So, you say, ba.motss isn't distributed nationwide,
and *that* is the reason it's free of spam and fundies. Au contraire.
Because so many ISPs are based in this region, ba.motss has nearly the
same distribution as soc.motss. What other explanation is there, except
that ba.motss is one of the few lesbigay newsgroup without the word "gay"
in its description line?

Hey, I get it! I followed Ann's advice and listened to the VWC
last night as I did some, uh, geeky things (OK, it involved
phones, but that's all I'm going to say). And, it was
*Thursday* night.

Since then I've had Charlie's voice running through my head.
