Can I just idly email you for any 'ol thing? I've been thinkin about
buyin some new stocks, maybe you could provide me with some
insight...I've also got this question about thermodynamics that's been
naggin at me...

>We've been providing Usenet services for about 14 years,

Jesus, you've been on Usenet even longer than me, Bob.

Yes, propagation is important...but then, so is retention. How's yer
retention Bob? Multipart binary retention? Single part binary
retention? Non binary retention? Come on, Bob, lay it all out and
the table and spread it's legs, we all wanna get a good look at this
bitch.

....now come on, Bob, you can do better than that, can't ya? I mean,
yer postin to A26, we're not exactly some technophobe froup or
anything. Let's get specific Bob, let's say I'm on yer server and I
make a post...what's the average length of time it's gonna take that
post to hit Google froups? And what about locally? Instantaneous
propagation is what I'm gettin through Charter's current contract
bitch.

Ahhh, Stupidnews...yeah, I've got a special place for them in my
<strike>heart</strike> ass:

Well generally speaking that is how Usenet operates, Bob.

Now there ya go, Bob, that's the kinda thing we're lookin to see, skip
teh merry-go-round play around, cause it just makes ya look like a
clown when you abound that sort of browned, ass pounded, reach around.
To put it another way we're not gay, Bob, so you don't need to put on
yer best Usenet suit and tie and start courtin us with excessive
flowery sounding sales pitches.

....not ~entirely~ accurate, Bob, but we'll let ya slide on that one.

Could've been hung up at any number of hops, even on yer end of things
if ya gots any sort of bottle necking issues at peak hours.

I have a question regarding the nature of cows as a possible
contributing factor to ozone depletion via methane release. I'm
curious to know, in the event of say a sudden catastrophic climate
change, would immediately killing all the cows in the world prove to
be an effective stop gap measure against teh impeding global doom AND
if so, just what would be needed to kill every single cow on the face
of the planet with such swift resolve...come on Bob, it's burning in
the minds of every (tine) A26 reg in here!
