$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Dear Ms. Postnews: \ | | | I couldn't get mail through to somebody | | on another site. What | | | | should I do? | | | | -- Eager Beaver | | | | Dear Eager: | | | | No problem, just post your message to a | | group that a lot of people read. Say, | | "This is for John Smith. I couldn't get | | mail through so I'm posting it. All | | others please ignore." | | | | This way tens of thousands of people | | will spend a few seconds scanning over | | and ignoring your article, using up | | over 16 man-hours their collective | | time, but you will be saved the | | terrible trouble of checking through | | usenet maps or looking for alternate | | routes. Just think, if you couldn't | | distribute your message to 9000 other | | computers, you might actually have to | | (gasp) call directory assistance for 60 | | cents, or even phone the person. This | | can cost as much as a few DOLLARS (!) | | for a 5 minute call! | | | | And certainly it's better to spend 10 | | to 20 dollars of other people's money | | distributing the message than for you | | to have to waste $9 on an overnight | | letter, or even 25 cents on a stamp! | | | | Don't forget. The world will end if | | your message doesn't get through, so | | post it as many places as you can. | | | | -- Emily Postnews Answers Your | \ Questions on Netiquette / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
