Big Bertha Thing publication
The statistics for Big Bertha Thing postings published
on sci.astro are as follows:-
20 No. 50K primary postings (out of 26)
2 No. 600K ditto (out of 4)
12 No. off-topic postings (out of 200)
4 No. 50K secondary postings (out of 26)
20 No. 4K ditto (out of 26)
20 No. 2K ditto (out of 26)
24 No. astronomical postings (out of 2000)
There was almost zero response to the above, which were
spread over 28 days, at the rate of two days per week.
Book-burners deleted the archive of Net Access Policy
postings prior to 2nd November 1998. Bertha saved those,
with the exception of replies and published 12.
The above were also posted to the Onenet conference
Astronomy & Space. Here days 18, 19, 20, were minimal
keep-off-the-grass days and on days 27 and 28 they
broke ranks. The on-topic filibuster of sound-bite
journalism ended, at 42 days old.

Educating Rita
This film portrays a dominant spouse and a long-suffering
student, to the extent upto and including divorce,
book-burning and forced pregnancy.
There was zero privacy. Any attempt to re-register or
change the password would not work, because the secret
could not be kept.
Every posting by the spouse is a violation of OU rules
and the students education, causing real pain. Vetting
by one moderator or by several using a non-public Rita
conf. would not work, because the spouse would use the
students name, with all the further alienation that
would cause.
A new policy needs to be adopted. The last resort
punishment measure, needs to be the first resort
measure on compassionate grounds; that of making the
student read-only on FC. The student would thank you
for it, but not publically.
It would need to be agreed between ACS and OUSA, which
is what they are there for.
Be kind,
Tony Lance
