Well isn't _that_ special. I (obviously) have not looked at this page
in a while. I wonder what the ol' ISP has changed out from under me this
time. With any luck the reports will be back soon.

OK, the daily traffic report is back to its usual tricks. The script
is a little more resilient in the face of rock-stupid news server tricks
now (fight stupidity with stupidity-- a little brute force was added to
show the server who's boss). A current report is available, and nightly
reports should return to normal.

The meaning was clear but I foolishly thought I'd look it up on the
off-chance. Nope, not there. Spodumene was though: a pyroxene
mineral consisting of lithium aluminium silicate; a source of lithium - with
its friend, hiddenite: a green transparent form of spodumene used as a
gemstone.

I would just like to make this official:

now "Transparent spodumene is a pretty little sucker".

Addendum: I looked up "spodumene"'s etymology, it's from the Greek,
"spodousthai" meaning "to be burnt to ashes" and "spodos" meaning
just "ashes".
I no longer believe the similarity to Kim's "to spod" is coincidental.
But unless someone has any knowledge of "spodding"'s orgins (Matt?),
that will have to stay speculative.

You're welcome. Unfortunately the nightly report didn't happen... The
news server decided to reassert itself by simply refusing connections
at around midnight local time, which is when the reports _usually_ run.
A new report is there now. With any kind of luck things will return
to normal (because I really don't have time to implement yet another
stupidity workaround right now).

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle
} Back in the days of the Greek Pantheon, when the Oracle still lived on
} Olympus (this was before the Noodle incident), supplicants had to make
} the weary trudge up the mountain to ask their questions. This resulted
} in two kinds of supplicants:
}
} - the sort who, knowing the arduous journey involved,
} reserved the services of the Oracle for only their deepest
} imponderables - questions of politics, of philosophy, of
} baking, etc.
}
} - and then there was the sort who would simply save up all
} their questions over, say, a month or so, and so bombard
} the Oracle with a steady stream of pointless questions, like
} "What spice goes best with barbecued Texan? How many orifaces
} are there, really? What's with Joel Furr, anyway? How much wood
} would a woodchuck - "
}
} This last sort annoyed the Oracle immensely, and after about the fifth
} inane inquiry would <ZOT> the fools, leaving nothing but a pile of
} ashes.
}
} Hence the practice of bombarding the Oracle with a large volume of
} pointless questions was called "spodding", from the Greek "spodos" for
} ashes. This same term was later taken over into Usenet when the Oracle
} went online, and from there was generalized to mean "posting large
} volumes of blather to Usenet".
}
} You owe the Oracle a subscription to "World Wide Words" and a rational
} explanation of why "rhod" and "spod" rhyme.

now. I added some more stupidity checking that _should_ be able
to deal with my server's recent late-night temper tantrums, so
I think the regularly scheduled report might actually run tonight.
I can't say for sure, though, because it's hard to test this sort
of thing when the server's behaving properly.
The reports have also been updated with enough shiny happy HTML to
make most people physically ill, so I'd appreciate feedback from
anyone who's interested enough to look.

that there is an account already in existence as fiddlehead@usanet. If
anyone from here were to email me, someone would get the mail, but it
wouldn't be me. The other two are ongoing accounts. I'm just about to
close down my first account, which is the last account shown. And
that's that.
Besides, I'm a woman, and it's my prerogative to change my mind. :)

> Yes, and I repeat time and time again.
You must have the lushest garden in the state of Canada.
For myself I find that a single application of fertilizer, per
year, is quite satisfactory in making my garden grow.[1]
Of course I tend to use a pre-packaged, concentrated type, rather
than peat. I suppose the natural, organic, ones are probably
better, more fulfilling and emotionally satisfying to the gardener,
but frankly I'm just pleased I'm able to get something to grow.
Also it probably depends on the crop: if you're growing things
like cucumbers, zucchini and squash, carrots, and celery, a single
peating is probably enough; for things like roses, or strawberries
or tomatoes or other juicy succulents, multiple applications are
more appropriate.

Unlike most people who design HTML, I actually checked it in lynx
before announcing it. And even fixed a couple of things that _did_ look

OK, I suppose I knew it wasn't the last word. But hopefully it was the
last trouble rerport for a while. BTW, the line at the bottom reading
Reconnect count: 139
...is basically a count of how many times the script had to slap the server
upside of its head in order to get its work done. The run time is
mainly so that I can keep an eye on things. It _shouldn't_ take 415
seconds to do a report like this, but that's the price I pay for
getting results even in the face of random disconnects.

[UK] 1. A lower form of life found on talker systems and MUDs. The
spod has few friends in RL and uses talkers instead, finding
communication easier and preferable over the net. He has all the
negative traits of the computer geek without having any interest in
computers per se. Lacking any knowledge of or interest in how networks
work, and considering his access a God-given right, he is a major
irritant to sysadmins, clogging up lines in order to reach new MUDs,
following passed-on instructions on how to sneak his way onto Internet
("Wow! It's in America!") and complaining when he is not allowed to
use busy routes. A true spod will start any conversation with "Are you
male or female?" (and follow it up with "Got any good
numbers/IDs/passwords?") and will not talk to someone physically
present in the same terminal room until they log onto the same machine
that he is using and enter talk mode. Compare newbie, tourist, weenie,
twink, terminal junkie, warez d00dz. 2. A backronym for "Sole Purpose,
Obtain a Degree"; according to some self-described spods, this term is
used by indifferent students to condemn their harder-working fellows.
Compare the defiant adoption of the term `geek' in the mid-1990s by
people who would previously have been stigmatized by it (see computer
geek). 3. [obs.] An ordinary person; a random. This is the meaning
with which the term was coined, but the inventor informs us he has
himself accepted sense 1.

Use an ALT attribute in each <IMG>.
<img src="images/my-left-buttock.gif" alt="left buttock">
Non-graphicalized browsers will display the text string.
A while back I complained ot some company that their web-page relied
heavily graphical icon buttons, and thus was not usable by me. Tols
'em about ALT, got a nice reply thanking me for the suggestion and
inviting me back to take a look. They had used "click here" as the ALT
for every button on the page.

I'm gonna have to guess that Tim's copy'n'paste dropped all
![a-zA-Z@], since people's names have to spaces and domain atoms are
not .-separated. In fact, 'mail.sas.upenn.edu' doesn't exist, but is
made up of two time-sparing boxes (mail1 and mail2). As a result, my
posts sometimes come from one and sometimes the other (namely two).
This gives DejaSucksAss^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HNews a headache for
searching. Now that I'm using slrn instead of tin (resouce limits
preclude the use of gnus at the moment) I can possibly fix this whole
mess. As soon as my boss gives me something to do, I'll get started
futzing with my new dotfile right away.

Suppress it, no - but ALT text is sorta your friend...
I think that if you do <IMG SRC="etc.gif" ALT=" ">, lynx users
will see not [IMAGE] but merely [ ].

Yup, sorry for the confusion here. So I could sort them alphabetically, I
found/replaced all the preceding numbers and other non-letters. That ripped

Good heavens, Miss Akimoto! A song cue!
Eternal September Anthem
------------------------
This is the month that never ends
it just goes on and on, my friends
some lusers started posting here
not knowing netiquette
and they'll continue posting here
they haven't finished yet
This is the month that never ends
it just goes on and on, my friends
AOLers quoted everything
just to add "me too"
you'd think that they'd have stopped by now
they haven't got a clue
This is the month that never ends
it just goes on and on, my friends
B1FF startled everyone
with nothing much to say
you can find him everywhere
he's never gone away
This is the month that never ends
it just goes on and on, my friends
spods and trollers here
causing endless strife
they'll continue flaming dear
until they get a life
This is the month that never ends
it just goes on and on, my friends
more newbies find the internet
every single day
they ask the same old questions
that were answered yesterday
This is the month that never ends
it just goes on and on, my friends
the spammers telling you
how to make money fast
don't you ever answer them
just try to duck the blast
This is the month that never ends
it just goes on and on, my friends
September started up one year
and then it came again
September hasn't ended dear
and never will again
This is the month that never ends
it just goes on and on, my friends
...

Aethetics preclude the use of gnus, since gnus requires the use of emacs. :)

Aw, c'mon, make somebody else be the anus. I wanna be something

Your anal hairline is receding? You should see a doctor about that.

Normally I just comb the remaining hair across the bald spot.
An added benefit of this practice is that the comb works great at
removing danglers: [1] a few strokes and they drop right off. You
don't even have to wash the comb!
So then I'm thinking, Paul's a bright guy, maybe I should listen
to his advice. Luckily I was just walking past a doctor's office
when I thought that, so I went in and asked the receptionist for
an appointment. She asked, "do you have an appointment?" which
seemed a little redundant but I let it go. "Let's see if we have
any openings" she said. We definitely have an opening, it's what
I'm here for. She seems quite startled when I show it to her though.
"What seems to be the problem?" she asked. The crowd in the waiting
area leans forward. "THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ANUS!" I said
calmly. "Could you repeat that?" They do this as a form of torture,
death by embarrassment. She didn't even write it down, just smirked.
So after the giggling dies down she puts me in an exam room. I
decide to be considerate and speed things up by getting stripped
before the doctor shows up; they're busy people you know. So I'm
naked and bent over the table, practicing my "show it to doc" grip,
when the door opens. Boy did that candy-striper turn red!
Eventually we get me weighed and measured and blood pressure taken.
The candy-striper, what a girl, did the blood pressure cuff around
my penis and we had lots of fun pumping it up and taking readings.
Okay, I made that part up. Finally the doc shows up -- we're having
sex by then -- (okay, I made that up too) and we get to the business
at hand.
"I want you to look at my anus," I said. Doc's a petite redhead
(Honest! now hush, who's telling this story?), so I'm happy to show
her anything. I go into "show it for doc" mode again, the practice
helped, and she spends several minutes poking and prodding. I try
not to moan too loudly when she finds my prostate. Not too quietly,
either, just in case she wants to spend a little extra time there.
Finally she says "looks fine to me; what seems to be the problem?"
I tell her my hairline's receding. Boy, redheads are cute when they
get angry! But next time I'll wait until she's taken her finger
out of my anus before I piss her off.
Once I explain that I meant the hair around my anus she calms down
and gives me a cloth to stop the bleeding. Unfortunately, she says,
there's not much that can be done about it; she gave me some Rogaine
samples and suggested that I comb the remaining hair across, so I
felt proud I'd got that right.
Well, to make a long story short, we exchanged phone numbers and
chaste kisses, and I made sure to tip well so she'd remember me
fondly. The candy-striper peeked out and gave me a shy wave, she's
still blushing, isn't that cute? and I scowled at the receptionist
as I walked back out to the street. That's my story.

I see you're still waiting to be given an assignment. Your mission is
to learn about the origins of life on earth. It is a major challenge,
learning all you can about paleology, cosmology, geology, and biology.
You do not have to abandon any religious beliefs, but you do have to
look for the evidence of what is asserted. If you participate in any
debate, you are required to add to the signal rather than the noise.
Good luck in your mission. I wish you well.

It's been running in the same place for at least 15 years every Friday

Oh, great. I post swatches of great literature (over there <---)

Well...yeah. I mean, it makes stalking a CHALLENGE. Anyone can stalk
someone when they know RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE, but try stalking someone when
you don't even know what country they live in. Although I have narrowed it
down to Kevin lives somewhere on this planet, most of the time. Except when
he's been drinking.

It's that I keep moving. I've been through seven states[1] and three
tropical islands in the months since this stalking started, and still
he finds me! A few days peace and boom! there he is again, usually
in disguise in hopes I'll fail to recognize him.
But I am not fooled! Once he was a blind panhandler in downtown
Denver; I offered a penny and he whipped out his penis, and I knew
it was time to leave.
I was visiting the San Diego zoo, and one of the monkeys threw
something disgusting and showed me his penis, and I knew it was
again time to move on.
At the Hawaiian luau the roast pig whipped out his penis and again
I knew I must go.

No! I'm obsessed with _avoiding_ your penis. All this stalking
is frightening me, sensitive soul that I am.
Hey, did I ever tell y'all about the time[1] I met a girl that had

to my virility sitting perched on the mantles of various lovely and
lonely women, being taken down and baptized occasionally (proper care
