Subject: Is Usenet a Huge Dung Heap?

 ... At least a couple people think it is ...

My thanks to knauer@ibeam.intel.com (Rob Knauerhase) for researching
this and passing these gems along:

    "Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea --
     massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a
     source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it."
      -- Gene Spafford
and
    "Come to think of it, there are already a million monkeys on a million
     typewriters, and Usenet is NOTHING like Shakespeare."
