Apparently-From: sagan@AOL.sol.mwy

Has it occurred to anyone yet that the reason we havent gotten any
replies from Out There may be the same as the reason we dont often
bother flaming AOLers?

Oh, _goody_, Yendor—heres another one. Lets see, it says
[*** –> MAKE FRIENDS FAST !!! <– ***] on the front panel; how
_original_. Two nudes on the plaque, scanned in at low res.
What do you want to bet they didnt get permission from the
copyright holder? Hmm…address in pulsar distances, but they
mangled the Reply-To: line; I dont think Sol III is a fully
qualified domain at all. You would think all these spammers
out in Sirius sector would know about the anonymous reposter
at Fomalhaut by now, anyway….

Well, do we forward it to their sysop?

Whats the point? Look at the header; its some dinky yellow
G2 dwarf. The sector is lousy with them—if we have Her shut
it down, theyll find another star before She even has time to
clean out the logfiles and reboot.

But look at this bandwidth-hogging crap—this audio disk must
have a couple of hundred incompatible languages on it. I dont
think this one is even the same _species_; it sounds more like a
whale to me.

Well, if theyve got whales on-site, maybe theyll ask some
questions and eventually get a clue. In the meantime, I cant
be bothered; Ive got a whole globular cluster to upgrade to
4.0.2 this eon. Besides, in the long run it only encourages
them. The sort of pathetic race who starts these chain
letters craves any kind of attention at all.

[This one is original to me; Yendor and Zontak will be way pissed
if anyone forwards it along without my name….]
