Newsgroup worries 28 Jul 2008 Those who are getting very agitated, missing out on their Usenet fix of the group talk.origins, which has been dormant for the past few days, should know that Steps Are Being Taken. Stop emailing me. I don’t know any more than this… go take some other stimulant. Alcohol, chocolate, anything! Oh, and on another subject, PZ is reported in the Inside Higher Ed website. Nothing new – that same old positions, ranging from crucifixion to “meh”. Administrative Religion

Talk.origins not operating? Hunh! My life has been so much more productive since I broke the habit of t.o. a couple of years ago. Now, instead of being ignored there, I am ignored in so many other places. I hope that people survive!

Hi John, I haven’t worried about talk.origions for maybe 18 months, since Google “Blessed be it’s name” [joke] changed the way that the thread was presented. I went for the various Gods in “RuneScape” after that. Perhaps I shall discover a newsgroup software one day that inspires me to debate “Dr.” Sean Pitman once again, but then again maybe I should stick with Saradomin or Guthix related questions. One day, I must tell you about my ride on a Harley “STSE” model custom. (Chrome *everywhere*, fuel injection in a 110ci motor, open face helmet w/ big grin!) We just moved to Baulkham Hills and I turned up to impress the neighbours on that bike – rotflmao. (signed) marc
