MAP-EXTRA: POP QUIZ #1
"This is a test of the Emergency Broadband System. This
is only a test. If this had been an actual emergency,
your local newsgroups and mailing lists -- in voluntary
co-operation with state and local officials -- would have
posted alarmist spams announcing imminent death of the
Internet. This concludes this test of the Emergency
Broadband System. Thank you." -- Malinda McCall

PART ONE: MULTIPLE GUESS
Please read each paragraph carefully, and then select the response that
best answers the question asked in the paragraph.
1. I'm subscribed to the 'squirrel' LISTSERV mailing list
(SQUIRREL@UA1VM.UA.EDU). I just heard a story about how
an energetic squirrel once crashed the mainframe at
Mississippi State University during registration (a
true story) and I want to share this information with
everyone on the 'squirrel' mailing list. What address
should I send my e-mail letter to if I want the letter
to be distributed to everyone on the "squirrel" list?
a. LISTSERV@UA1VM.UA.EDU
b. SQUIRREL@UA1VM.UA.EDU
c. PCRISPE1@UA1VM.UA.EDU
d. PRESIDENT@WHITEHOUSE.GOV
2. I'm looking for a list of all known LISTSERV lists. What
LISTSERV command should I use to get such a list?
a. REVIEW GLOBAL
b. INDEX GLOBAL
c. LISTS GLOBAL
d. GET GLOBAL
3. Okay, I just got the "list of lists." I found a neat list
called "navigate" but the list of lists only shows the
address as NAVIGATE@UBVM. What address should I send my
subscribe command to?

b. NAVIGATE@UBVM.BITNET
c. LISTSERV@UBVM.BITNET
d. PCRISPE1@UA1VM.UA.EDU
4. I want to subscribe to the alt.abuse.recovery newsgroup.
I sent a e-mail letter to LISTSERV@UA1VM.UA.EDU with the
command SUBSCRIBE ALT.ABUSE.RECOVERY JOE STUDENT, and I got
back an error message saying that "alt.abuse.recovery" is
unknown to the LISTSERV. What's going on?
a. alt.abuse.recovery is full, and LISTSERV can not
find any room to add you
b. alt.abuse.recovery is a Usenet newsgroup; you have
to subscribe to the group from a Usenet reader
c. alt.abuse.recovery does not exist
d. the squirrels have eaten the alt.abuse.recovery
newsgroup.
5. How can I unsubscribe from the Roadmap workshop?
a. send an e-mail letter to ROADMAP@UA1VM.UA.EDU
which says UNSUB * in the body of your letter.
b. send an e-mail letter to PCRISPE1@UA1VM.UA.EDU
which says UNSUB * in the body of your letter.
c. send an e-mail letter to LISTSERV@UA1VM.UA.EDU
which says UNSUB * in the body of your letter.
d. bug Patrick until he drops you from the workshop.
PART TWO: TRUE OR FALSE
Read each sentence carefully, and then determine if the sentence is
true or false.

friend my password.

NETIQUETTE.

PART THREE: SHORT ANSWER
11. One of my friends just e-mailed me a chain letter offering me
good luck so long as I send the chain letter to ten additional
people. Heck, there are several *hundred* people subscribed to
each of the Usenet newsgroups and LISTSERV lists. Why can't I
just forward the chain letter to these groups?
12. Patrick's dad said "DON'T include the entire contents of a
previous posting in your reply(s)." Why *can't* I do this?
13. If someone spams a list that I am on, what should I do? Why
