Sometimes, being list admin isn't all that bad..

Status: RO

It's Friday afternoon and I'm going a bit stir crazy, but I just thought
this
might amuse people a bit.

Being list admin means several things. One of which is that when a
message from
the list fails to reach it's destination, the last computer it gets to
sends a
report back to me. Some of you may know that a lot of the communication
between
computers as they pass mail messages on is actually in plain text, and
part of
the report I get back is a transcript of that conversation. well, have a
look at
this one (names have been changed to protect the guilty)..

    -Rcvd: 250 <some computer> Is thrilled beyond bladder control to
meet <list
server>
    -Sent: MAIL FROM<list>
    -Rcvd: 250 sender is <list>, (yeah sure, it's probably forged)
    -Sent: RCPT TO:<some person>
    -Rcvd: 250 recipient <some person>, I know them! they'll just *LOVE*
to hear
from you!
    -Sent: DATA
    -Rcvd: 354 OK, fire away. End with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
    -Rcvd: 421 Sorry, gotta run, I've got my head stuck in the cupboard

 It lightens my heart just a little to know that someone out there is
treating
all this technology with the respect it deserves..

ObFT: if you COULD build a ship that had thrust 18 (as I believe an
example was
before) could the crew handle the G forces of such
acceleration/deceleration and
rotation? Shouldn't there be a 'turn limit' for manned vehicles - which
might be
one good way to differentiate drone craft, them having extreme
manoeuvrability..
