• Find yourself thinking about the
    Future?

    • Well, don't just sit there,
    TALK about it!

    If you are unfamiliar with unmoderated E-Lists, your first exposure may be a little confusing...like this:

    "...have to say that I have been receiving posts for a couple weeks and still don't know what in the Sam Scratch is going on here.  Except for the fact that there seem to be quite a few cool kids in here.  Of course, this does not help the fact that whenever I check my email I get the Mailbox overload warning and scolding."

    ---and a seasoned member (that would be Mark E. Mullinix :) answers:
    "Yeah, well neither do we half the time! ;-)
    (more than half actually...I like the analogy that it's like a crowded bar, with people talking nonstop about a million different things, some talking about everything to everyone and others finding their niche).
    So pull up a chair somewhere! And tell GWU system administrators they need a heftier mail system! :-)
    (oh yeah, and tell us about yourself...we're a bit nosy! :-)"


    And this from a welcome post written by Robert Wichert:

    Welcome Name Withheld!
    If you have not been subscribed for a while, you will now have the honor of receiving up to 200 totally brilliant postings per day, limited only by the listserv software (and frequently overridden by the list mom (TM)). These brilliant musings of a band of (fill in non-existent generalization known to bring about flames and/or a long talk about generalizations -- your choice) will provide you with enough to do for the entire day. Your job is over. Your social life is over (Graz and Tom notwithstanding). Your parents will disown you. You may learn SAP, NT, FreeBSD, html, vi, and EMacs all in several easy lessons.
    You'll love it!

    In the Future, everyone will need a little FUTURECULTURE.
