Download all in one package. See a related site. Read a description of usenet laws. Study the The Flamers Bible. Wonder about the statistics of at.linux. Browse another fortune collection. Praise Google's 20 Year Usenet Timeline.

I highly appreciate contributions and hand out CVS write permissions liberally. The only important rule is that nobody should ever manage his or her own postings. No matter how good your intentions are, this would end up as vanity or censorship. In doubt check the CVS logs.


We're Germans and we use Unix. That's a combination of two demographic 
groups known to have no sense of humour whatsoever.
