What happpened to Talk.Origins? No posts lately.
The moderator mentioned that it would be down for most of the weekend.
Here's a copy of what he posted:
Due to electrical work being done on-site the moderation host will
be offline from approximately 5pm Friday to (hopefully) 5pm
Saturday. In the event I am not able to return darwin to service
on Saturday afternoon it may be down until Monday morning EST.
HA! he just wants a weekend off.
I read this and flashed on a cartoon I saw years ago. A frazzled woman
sitting at a desk with ash trays filled with cigarette butts.
She is wearing a headset and looking at a clock.
The caption:
"At the tone the time will be 4:19 and 30 seconds."
Then I saw the T.O. moderator counting the number of groups to limit
posts.
it's robomoderated.... yes, DIG is a robot!!
One: a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm... Two:..a robot must obey the orders given it
by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First
Law... Three: a robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with the First and Second Laws.
Four: a robomoderator must not allow more than four groups including
talk.origins to be posted to
Five: Jabirol must be censored at all costs, and told that he's free to post
whatever he likes at talk.origins
bwahahaha. robots will inherit the earth!!
