Re: [OT] Valley of the Boyz
For gawd's sake, go away! I thought this guy was filtered? This is so not relevant to anything even remotely resembling an issue for either the IETF or NANOG.

As for instance in the area of ATTORNIES who could write me up a whole 'pacel'(?) (parcel, passle, BUNCH...'possibles') of LETTER of DEMANDs? Look at that "VALLEY of the Boys" story-see at screen's upper-left-hand-corner the IBM 'browser ad' graphic which is a clustering of highway signs. "601" "219"...Wow! How about that! Please compare the ad to my designwork at http://www.slip.net/~0614275 Okay! That's all! Let me know if you are interested in going in together as a PRE-IPO with my designworks! Casey --- "John M .

Re: Heard at the IETF
Don't the Japanese who avoid the use of 4 because it sounds like death? I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that. Also, I remember hearing that about the Japanese television show "Iron Chef". Although there are 4 Iron Chefs, the TV program only shows 3 at the most (at a time) to avoid showing or referring to all 4 of them. Sorry to interrupt your thread, but I found it a humorous sideline in an all too un-unhumorous (like that's a word) work week. :) Cheers! /rpg ------ Randall Gale Regional Director - New England Information Security Predictive Systems vox: 781-751-9629 fax: 781-329-9343 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.predictive.com -- John Day [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/03/00 09:03 AM To: "Hans E.

Does this make 14 a prime number ? ;-) No - it makes 26 a prime number. That's OK... But in China, they skip "4". (They really do). Because the idiogram for the number four sounds like "death", so it is for a good reason. Number 13 is just unlucky. Ahhh, right. Thanks for putting a scientific view on the subject. ;-)
Re: fyi.. House Committee Passes Bill Limiting Spam E-Mail
It's easy to classify SPAM as "junkmail" or UCE but I think that leaves too much to interpretation these days. Especially given the almost completely commercial applications of "the net" (gawd, I hate to even think of Sandra B. and her magic octet). I think the answer could live in what is commonly referred to as a "pull" versus a "push" type of marketing. If you take the time to ask people, in a non-obtrusive way, what they're interested in, then usually, enough people will respond to help you "meet your numbers and get your trip" (or whatever motivates the source of information). The trick (or tightrope that must be walked), is to find a middle ground with consumers. How can enough information about you be gathered and analyzed (with your permission) to only (or for the most part) give you information that interests you. Cookies? not sure. PKI "hooks"? Not sure either. Heck, I'm not sure what the difference is if you really think all "hippy" about what they're really both being used (planned) for. The net has the potential to be a great vehicle for sales. The only reason I say it has potential, in spite of its obvious success, is that I think there's a long way to go with regards to security and other legal issues. These will all get resolved one way or the other, but once they are, this middle ground is where we should all be able to play as "consumers" AND "sellers" with product or information or opinion whatnot (what's the difference really). -- Randall Gale Regional Director Information Security Predictive Systems vox: 781-751-9629 fax: 781-329-9343 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.predictive.com --
