So do you think the editors of Sci Am also create all the postings
|
|
to alt.aliens.visitors? Is John_-_Winston an alias for Sci Am's Gary Stix?
|
|
|
|
Ok, I'll admit, I suppose I've been suckered and globally humiliated.
|
|
April Fools Jokes shouldn't arrive in the middle of March...
|
|
|
|
But I'll bet that Sci Am *does* get such letters (WREK-Atlanta
|
|
certainly did), and that most of these jokes have basis in some real
|
|
letters. I'll bet they changed only the name on at least one
|
|
of the letters. (Would that be plagerism?)
|
|
|
|
And I still think my hypothesis is valid: that this form of humor
|
|
originated or matured in the nets. Other hypotheses welcome... strick

Yup, it's on the CPSR listserv, for one place: used to be
|
|
listserv@gwuvm.gwu.edu, but now I think the preferred addr is
|
|
listserv@cpsr.org.

The SURFPUNK Technical Journal is a dangerous multinational hacker zine
|
|
originating near BARRNET in the fashionable western arm of the northern
|
|
California matrix. Quantum Californians appear in one of two states,
|
|
spin surf or spin punk. Undetected, we are both, or might be neither.
