Everyone at UTS, for example?

I'm informed that IBM has a rather.. selective newsfeed (a manifestation
of some broader policy, no doubt). Anyway, I once thought that a progsoc
public access machine was a good idea but these days, news/mail/IP is so
easy to get cheaply that there doesn't seem to be any good reason,
"just do it" is NOT a good reason, unless you wear sneakers a lot.

BTW, sorry I couldn't make it to the AGM... if you know what a "poverty
related illness" is, then you know why.

Also, if this is not a members only list, why are non-members being
told to "shut up"?
(Maybe it's "hip" to say so -- "I guess"!!)
