- You have mxsst1@vms.cis.pitt.edu, aka anonymus+1118, to thank for this.
-
- It seems that "the red flag is raised." Whereas local facilities
- staff had previously been aware of, and (perhaps grudgingly) condoned
- the existence of, anonymus@godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu (I mean, crud, the
- local Manager of Systems Programming had given his "seems innocuous
- enough" about it)...
-
- As of this morning, and due specifically to complaints about the
- above-named user, facilities staff have gained an entirely new
- awareness and perspective, being an utter distaste for the service's
- existence. Godiva has (rather abusively, in my opinion) been forced
- into standards compliance with the rest of cs.cmu.edu, and I have been
- ordered to dismantle the system.
-
- You have 24 hours in which to contact correspondents and either
- exchange real email addresses or else find other means by which to
- remain in contact.
-
- Apologies to the vast majority of legitimate, decent users of the
- system, some 3068 people. And may the few abusers of it, who managed
- to be its downfall even being such a minority, just rot in hell.
-
- I want to know something REALLY IMPORTANT... Has pitt.edu got some
- sort of hammerlock on the "Highest Population Density of Publicly
- Abusive Email Users" award? Between this jackass and our good friend
- of the alt.personals photo fiasco, not to mention a couple of private
- complaints I've had, you'd think nearly the entire population of the
- world's email morons lived about 5 blocks from where I now sit.

- Eight weeks, birth to death.
