1) I would like to enter your mailing list. 2) On the subject of mail systems, can't there be set up a name which when mailed to automatically forwards to all the people on the mailing list? ITS has that feature, and I have heard that TENEX is getting it. It would be much more convenient than copying the file to ones own machine. 3) I maintain this system's mail reader, called RMAIL. It is designed for display consoles, unlike most. It is documented in the file .INFO.;RMAIL ORDER on this machine (I guarantee you will be surprised to find out what language it's written in). Our FTP server does not expect you to log in; our system is not paranoid the way most systems are. -------
There is an INFAMOUS very special TWO PART episode of 70s sitcom WHATS HAPPENING!? where Rerun Stubbs bootlegs (records, on a crap recorder) a Doobie Brother's concert. It's called DOOBIE OR NOT DOOBIE (S2E16). You used to be able to watch this landmark episode on YouTube but it got DMCA'd by Sony.
The Doobies get on their high horse lecturing about how terrible it is to tape a concert. I grew up thinking taping a concert was like rape (I was a little kid when I saw it).
It must be seen to be believed. Nothing about this story surprising me. They are a litigious bunch, of doobious talent, spawned yacht rock sensation Michael McDonald, which I will never forgive them for, and Skunk Baxter works for the defense or intelligence establishment now.
What a wretched bunch of human beings. That I cannot stand their music to begin with is almost beside the point.
Oh look, the Whats Happening?! episode has a Facebook page. Of course it does, because it was the dumbest moment of the 1970s. And that's saying a lot.
Older e-mails are on record.

Re: Go old school
Yes, that was one of the most horrifying Very Special Episodes. I like that the tape was full of the sounds of popcorn.
TYPICAL. Just...typical.
