Looks to me as if Giusi and Ophelia are making a mockery of you,
just by doing nothing. It's best to just let things ride out and
Darwinism take over.

The CABAL (TINC) for this group doesn't run things quite the way your
council that runs the recreation area at the old folks home where you
live does. Thanks for the offer, though.

And make sure you send your rfc annual dues to Nancy. I note that they
are past due, and your posting privileges will be revoked if you don't
pay by Friday.

Did you not get recent memo #65536 dated 09/04/2009?

Item 71: There Is No More, "TINC". Please reference new
rule TINMTINC (p. 64)

But that does bring up an interesting subjet: What happens when we
- The Diehard Usenet Generation - turn old and maybe sitting at an
old folks home ourselves - or someplace slightly nicer? Will we
torment Usenet like Sheldon, and bitch about those people that we
knew from postings 40 and 50 years ago? I figure by then we'll have
dirt on everybody and we'd make for an entertaining group. Err...
CABAL.

I'd worry more about the generation which followed us,
putting up their pictures and life stories and networks
of friends up on Facebook, etc. All that stuff is going
to live forever, and many will regret what they've made
public. Compared to that, RFC is small potatoes.

You have hit the proverbial nail on the head, MT - although the idea
of sitting around grousing about the youngsters while we're
entertaining ourselves in an old folks' home does sound kinda fun,
Cabal or TINMTINC.

Oh, and BTW, Mike, the dues come to me, N., not "Nancy," who posts as
"nancy." Let's just get that straight right now.

Far worse than that is Twitter. You constantly post what you are doing and
where you are, and you have 'followers' (stalkers?) who follow your every
move. Juvenile, twisted, and sick - and that sadly seems normal to our
children.

It's perfect for the Entitlement Generation, and entire demographic that
recruits "followers" as though somebody should give a shit about what
they're "doing right now," and who acquire Facebook "friends" only as a
means to broadcast their blathering nonsense at little farther. No
wonder they have little concept of what real friendships are and how
people should treat each other.

frankly, i think twitter will die before usenet. how much useful
information can you really put in 140 characters? (i say that knowing full
well that many of my posts are shorter than that.)

It just goes to show how pathetic people have become that they a) post
that sort of shit, and b) actively follow someones elses shit.


6.45am Just got out of bed, scratched my balls and farted. It smelt like
the curry from last night. Mood : sleepy.

7.00am Taking a dump. It's definitely the curry from last night.
Mood : Feeling thinner.

7.15am Going to take a shower because I can't get all of last nights curry
off my ass. Mood : shitty.

8.00am Mmmmmmmmmm, soapy hands feel good in the shower. Mood : horny.

8.30am Running late for work *again*!! Why?? Because I spend too much of
my frikken time writing every damn thing I'm doing so that some poor
pathetic asshole out there can live their life vicariously through mine.
Mood : Screw you!!

Those pics and videos will go down as scrapbooks for generations to
see. But their kids won't care less as they head down their own
path of Idiocracy.

Good point. Not only that, but the RFC archives are
entirely in text, which will be as obsolete as Morse Code
in their time. Not like youtube or Facebook which are
graphic and therefore do not require cogitating, and
therefore are much more dangerous with regard to your
legacy.

We will be sitting in nursing homes, the men will be talking about the
war in Vietnam, and ordering viagra online. The women will be sitting
in wheelchairs with their breast implants sagging down to their knees,
looking at their ankle tattoos of lightning bolts. Oh yeah, it should
be fun.

Hell, the Viet Nam vet generation is already trickling into nursing
homes. The tidal wave will be the "Late Boomers" and they'll be talking
about Iran/Iraq, Reagan and Bush 1.0, and reminiscing about the
transition from rotary to touch tone.

That must be a record! I am probably a little out of touch (!) since I
don't particularly like tatoos anyway but have you seen the Ozzy term

You jest? The RFC "old folks home" was actually subject of discussion in
chat some years ago. I remember Damsel, ChrisD, Nancy (and I'm sure there
were others) all laughing about how we'd fight over who would use the
kitchen when. In between we'd have taken up knitting or some such nonsense
and be sitting in rocking chairs on the front porch.

Oh, *that* memo? I chose to ignore it; thought everybody would - as they
do all other memos. Guess not.

This has been discussed before. And yes, IMHO, we will still be whining
and moaning at (and about) each other in our rocking chairs. How we're
all going to manage eating popcorn with dentures is still up for debate
though...

Steve and I are from the US. That means that 09/04/2009 translates to
the fourth day of September of the year 2009. In other words, the memo
hasn't taken effect yet.

:-)

Once we reach that date, of course, I will *then* proceed to ignore it.
