Quiz for today- Was Bonnie Lowell being ironic -OR- did Bonnie Lowell not notice that the Schwa posting was ironic (for a change (<--irony) ) -OR- have I got all wrong and every one talks at face value. Oh for tone of voice. ;)...... nope, a smiley isn't as good. ho hum. ---- > Date: Mon, 18 Mar 1996 09:13:55 -0500 (EST) > Sent-from: Will MacGhee <macghee@panix.com> Dear Couragous comrade user of the internet, It's a Joke, It's a Joke. Here is a not so excised version of the post: The Schwa Corperation, Global Media and Infomation Services is proud to present "Intrude", the search engine for the next century. Intrude is working 24 hours a day, sucking infomation and carefully indexing data from all four corners of the global infosphere. Sure, other search engines scan Usenet and mailing list archeives... but Intrude goes even further. Using the powerful parallel-processing supercomputer, "Pal 4000" (courtesy of Schwa Microsystems Computer Corperation), Intrude reads credit ratings, cable TV viewing habits, mail-order products received, videos rented, parking tickets received, and of course, every single peice of email transmitted over the Internet. Tired of those pesky PGP messages? They are no match for Pal's Reverse Escrow Orthoganal decryption software.

You're absolutely right. These people _must_ be stopped at all costs. I have seen the insidious contents of the Schwa Corporation web site at http://www.fringeware.com/SchwaRoot/ ..and have come to realize that blatant commercialism and alien abduction are very real threats to humankind's survival. I propose that a United States Senator(TM) form a committee immediately to study the sinister inroads the Schwa Corporation has made onto (into?) the Internet. I know that they are part of this thing. Who are they? What do they want? Why did they impregnate my aunt with their love child and then immediately depart the trailer park for their home galaxy? But wait... I notice that you sign your name "Bonnie Lowell" even though the email account belongs to "Troy Sheets"... Ohmigawd... You're one of THEM! What have you done with Troy? You've taken over his body, haven't you?! Oh... You were just quoting Troy. *whew* Well, hey, who can blame me for being alarmed? I mean, they're here. They're taking over!! Then again... you're at internetMCI? Hmmm... I've heard that the invasion has reached deep into that organization, as well. It's a logical attack; infiltrate, propagate, impregnate!!! You ARE one of them!! Listen, fellow Fringeware emailers: Alert the authorities now. We MUST begin the process of weeding out these horrible, money-grubbing, body-snatching aliens. They must be found. They must be stopped. They must be hungry after all that space travel... Here... Here's a sandwich. ..Bob Bob West The Dog & Pony Company(TM) bobwest@dogandpony.com http://www.dogandpony.com ---- > Date: Mon, 18 Mar 1996 16:56:10 -0500 > Sent-from: "Michael" <mike9@sover.net> PPPFFHHHTTTHAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA HA!
