A reader wrote to us with the news that an UDP has been
declared on @Home in news.admin.announce. You can read it on
Deja.com for the full post. Interesting - let's see how long it takes
@Home to respond to the UDP. Usually, this gets people attention pretty quickly,
and I'll welcome any sort of respite from the spam flood of the last couple months.
The penalty is due to begin 17:00 PST, Jan. 18, 2000.
This is an interesting phenomenon - USENET has no central authority and
no control centre, so if the UDP has the desired effect, then it's an
example of anarchism actually working (for once; note - I'm not in any
way an anarchist).It's also support for what your mother told you about
bullies and annoying brothers and sisters - "ignore them andthey'll get
fed up and stop it". Thanks, mum!
