	Yes.  I'll try to create it soon.  Look for asabet::strictly_baseball
to open soon.  

p.s.  there seems to bwe something wrong with ourgng, I keep getting dropped.

    
    Also my next unseen key doesn't work???
    
    mike

    Yeah, I keep getting my link aborted (ha ha).  Being a
    non-technoweenie, this is imposing an enormous amount of stress and
    emotional discomfort on my ~4 brain cells......
    
    Please help!
    
    Hawk

Someone should check the NETSERVER.LOG files on OURGNG to see if there are any
errors.  I haven't had any problems.

j.

    Don't mean to clutter this note with questions, or whatever, but since
    this is a new "era" for SPORTS, that is, different management, can we
    have one Wrasslin' note again.  I know it's an unpopular topic for
    some, but I'd bet that at least 50% of the noters, RON's included,
    would like to see it back.  Personally, while I don't watch wrasslin'
    like I used to, I'd still like to know what crap is going on in the WWF
    and that other southern federation.  Yeah, I know that there's a
    wrasslin' conference, but why would I be axing for this note if I had
    wrasslin' in my notebook.
    
    And if anti-wrasslin' people like REK would simply next-unseen it
    instead of replying a zillion times how stupid and fake it is (we all
    now it!), then it could be a highly entertaining topic.
    
    So, moderators, whaddya say?
    
    Hawk

    This moderator says NO to Wrasslin'.  Just add that conference to your
    notebook, Hawk, and quit whinin' ;^).

    As Dan so eloquently pointed out in the last SPORTS rendition, let
    the noters decide.
    
    I'll post a poll.
    
    Mark.

    But Dan was wrong.  DEC isn't a democracy.

    Chill out.

YOu guys working on the links problem ?

    We had several problems.....this system is not really managed so to
    speak so I had to change a couple of things.
    
    So far, I needed to boost max links, boost some notes$server
    parameters, and some other stuff that I already forgot about.
    
    Sorry if everyone got hosed a little while ago, but I had to kill the
    notes processes so that the new UAF stuff could take effect.
    
    Thanks for all your help Bruce

       I want rasslin'!!
                                    Denny

    We've got a hardware problem. I have to talk it over with Jeff,
    but we have a problem with our ethernet hardware. 
    
    So, pardon the aborted logical links. You may get them for a few
    days.

    another for rasslin'
    
    mike

    It's almost 24 hours since this conference was created, and there are
    already 300 total notes (base and replies).
    
    Glad to see everyone's made the effort to limit the junk notes.  Sure
    hope OURGNG has a lot of disk space...  :-)
    
    -- dg

    OURGNG is kind of an appropriate name for this conference. Alot of the
    folks that participate have been doing so for 5 years now...
    
    What a great conference....the best on the net.

    Jo*, don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.  
    
    Have a lousy weekend.
    
    Mark.

    re: Lefebvre
    
    Stuff it.

	I have some suggestions:

1) There should be a suggestion box

2) Instead of rasslin, we should have a G.L.O.W. note. These beautiful and
highly educated ladies embody all that is great about sports, plus it is
wrestling of the best caliber, with nothing phony about it. If someone wanted
to post some information on Hulk Hogan, or some of the other entertainers, I'm
sure that the purists among us would not mind that much.

3) I think that there should be certain notes that DON'T get deleted, in fact a
couple that should be brought over from ASABET intact. Such as: The JOKES note,
The GLOSSARY Note, etc. ----- These things don't get old. Extraneous
`conversations' within these notes could be deleted, but the notes themselves
make a nice intro for new noters entering the notesfile.

Phoe shit shlep
Mike JN

    If you want a note brought over from ASABET, extract it to a file
    and create a new note here.
    
    Keep in mind it won't be brought over in it's present form.
    
    Personally, I'd rather see you start the topic over again in this
    conference if you really like the topic.
    
    As for a suggestion box, I'll create a note for it.
    
    JoJ

>>    
>>    Keep in mind it won't be brought over in it's present form.

I've got a tool (PAN) that will allow a note to be brought over and keep the
original authors/dates/stuff intact.  Let me know if you want anything brought
over.

j.

	Now that OURGNG = SPORTS

How do we access ASABET::SPORTS to look at old stuff?

    why do I always get a "path to network partner lost" message on
    OURGANG?

       Looks like the Network problems are fixed! When are youse guys
    going to admit it was the Software after all?

    For you h/w technoweenies OURGNG is a 6230 stand-alone system that if
    Santa comes through with the Budget Bucks(Don't shoot Mark) will be
    clustered in the 90's. 
    
    Jeff

    	Why, on 9 January 1990, do we have replies dated 10 January?
    
    	Scott

Pretty simple really.  You can set the time on the system to anything
you want.  (Heck, when I worked at American Airlines I always kept
a batch job in the batch queue waiting for 31-DEC-9999....just to blow
people's minds).

Anyway, sometimes when you're fooling around with licensing or stuff that
expires etc, you set the system time ahead to force your stuff to expire
and test it out.  I'd guess that's what's going on, either that or
someones just ALL HOPPED UP out there!!!!!

    LDUC is a kinder, gentler abbreviation for pi**ing contest.  LDUC
    = Long Distance Urination Contest.

    Judging that I have 15:58 for a time hear and the notes file is
    two hours slower, does this mean the machine is on some NY City

Crap!

	I pulled the plug out with my foot.

I was trying to ask, what's going on with the NEXT UNSEEN?

Every time I get in, now, I start from note 1.0

I put in    SET SEEN   and it shows no new notes (which it's supposed to). Then
I get out and  do UPDATE SPORTS, and it shows some 13,000+  unseen notes, and
when I get back in, it starts at 1.0 again.

Mike  JN

    Hey Jeff...you don't wanna know. I'll fix the time. Thanks for pointing
    that out. Send Riggen mail if ya wanna know the real poop on OURGNG.
    He cain splain it better than me.
    
    JoJ

    OK, so maybe I ain't one of the "Inner Circle" of
    writers but I got I B*tch....
    
    It is now 11:07PM at my house.  I've been logged in
    sinc{ 7:50PM.
    
    Around 8:30 pm I got the familiar "no more notes" crap so I 
    did some more (Real) work.
    
    'bout :20 minutes ago I went back into SP90 to see what was happenin
    and got the opportunity to read ~40 messages which had time stamps
    from about 2:30PM (est) till now.
    
    I know something is very wrong!  There ain't no way Mike Childs
    (a co-site buddy) was at work this late ( it's dart night) and coupled
    with the fact that ALL the messages I read were time stamped BEFORE
    5:00PM (EST) except for (sorry person?) 2 from about 20:00 hours.!!!!!
    
    As a mostly RON ADDICT, I got a real issue here.  
    
    What the (omygawdicant believe i'm saying this...) DEVIL is going on??
    
    If I'm doing free work for our employer, and can't watch/listen to
    what's happening, AND if the damn computer tells me I read everything
    and up to time, how can I trust the message?  
    
    What is going on?  What is discombobulated here?
    
    Other conferences I RON don't exhibit this peculiarity.
    
    For the self-proclaimed  "BEST ON THE NET" conference,
    there is a bit to be desired!
    
    Kev_OW(tm)
    (OW means OCCASIONAL WRITER in case you forgot!)
    

For a change everything seems OK on OURGNG.  Perhaps you had two processes in
notes?  If you are in a notes file, leave it open, spawn notes and read the
notes file until there are no more notes, go back to the first process and exit
notes, your unseen gets screwed up.

If that isn't it, beats me.

    Maybe some are using batch reply tools?

    
    
     What happened to the Official Sports Quote Note?
    
    

    
    
     It was one of the following:
    
    
     56, 107, 124, 147, 157.
    
    
    Don't know why they were all deleted though.
    
    
    
      	STeven
    
    

    
    
     Which leads to an interesting question as to which notes were
    deleted and why?
    
    
    

That is a good question Steven....

I'll check some history

                Proper Use of Digital Computers, Systems and
                                   Networks


SCOPE

WORLDWIDE


PHILOSOPHY

| Systems and network utilities are powerful business tools,
| encouraging creativity and the exchange of ideas needed to
| maintain our competitive edge.  These tools allow for
| instantaneous creation of "electronic" organizations to focus
| worldwide resources on urgent tasks.  We want to encourage our
| people to use these tools in accordance with Company philosophy
| and values.

| Our peer-to-peer, open computing environment reflects our
| corporate culture.  We sell this concept to customers, and
| business and society are clearly moving towards this way of
| operating.  We believe that what we sell to our customers will
| get better if we use it ourselves.

| Information, and the ability to freely communicate it are
| valuable assets that play a significant role in Digital's
| success.  The protection and appropriate use of these assets is
| everyone's responsibility.  We must strike a balance between
| encouraging open systems and protecting these assets if they are
| to continue to support our success.

POLICY

| Digital owns and operates computers, systems and networks
| primarily to support the Company's business activities.  Systems
| should be used to enhance the cost effectiveness and efficient
| running of the business, to assist employees in being more
| effective in executing their duties and responsibilities, to
| enhance our employees' ability to operate our computer systems,
| to foster appropriate open and efficient communications and to
| perpetuate the use of computers in day-to-day activities.

| Employees should remember that computers, systems and networks
| like paper files, notebooks etc., are company assets provided to
| employees to assist them in performing their work.  These tools,
| and the work product they contain are Company property and
| are therefore subject to Company review and control.  The
| efficient operation of these vital resources is critical to the
| success of the business, and it is therefore the responsibility
| of all employees to use the computer resources provided to them
| by the Company appropriately.

DEFINITIONS

| For the purpose of this policy, improper use includes, but is not
| limited to the use of Digital owned and/or operated systems,
| networks and conferences for the purpose of gaining unauthorized
| access to internal or external computer systems or accounts, for
| personal purposes that are contrary to Company philosophy or
| policy, for purposes that interfere or compete with the Company's
| business activities, or for purposes of individual financial
| gain.   Examples of misuse include, but are not limited to,
| transmitting sexual or ethnic jokes or slurs, soliciting other
| employees, developing chain letters, making defamatory
| statements, disclosing private facts about any individual or
| organization, inappropriate disclosure of Company Proprietary or
| Confidential Information, permitting unauthorized access, etc.

RESPONSIBILITIES

|     COST CENTER MANAGERS - Cost center managers are responsible
|     for effective use of the Company's assets, which includes
|     networking and computers.  They may delegate that
|     responsibility to other individuals, but they are ultimately
|     responsible for making sure these policies are adhered to.

|     SYSTEMS MANAGERS - All employees must ensure that computers,
|     systems and networks that they manage are clearly operating
|     in support of Company business activities.  System Managers
|     must immediately investigate and report any incident of
|     misuse by an employee to the employee's manager.

|     MANAGERS - Managers should periodically remind employees
|     about the appropriate use of Company computer resources and,
|     monitor these resources to insure that they are being used in
|     accordance with this policy.

|     EMPLOYEES - Employees are expected to use Company sponsored
|     computer resources and their time at work (as determined by
|     their manager) in accordance with this policy and to support
|     Company business activities.  In addition, employees should
|     report all potential misuse to their manager.

|     CONFERENCE MODERATORS - Conference (Notesfile) moderators are
|     expected to periodically review the contents of the
|     conferences they moderate to insure that material contained
|     in those files meet the letter and spirit of this policy.
|     Moderators are expected to remove any material that does not
|     comply with these standards, and should report violations of
|     this policy to the appropriate systems or cost center
|     manager.

NOTES FILES/CONFERENCES

| Digital provides systems to its employees to maintain computer
| conferences (notesfiles) in direct support of Company business
| (i.e., product development, financial analysis, business
| planning, etc.).  Digital also permits access to these systems to
| communicate matters of opinions and common interests.

| In all cases a computer conference must have an identified
| conference moderator as defined above.  Where the conference
| directly supports the Company's business, the conference
| moderator and the responsible systems manager may elect to
| restrict access to the conference.  Digital classified
| information may only be placed in a conference with restricted
| access.  Conferences created to communicate matters of opinion
| and common interests may not be used for solicitations of any
| kind, and must be open to all employees.

| In addition, these conferences may not be used to promote
| behavior which is contrary to the Company's values or policy
| (i.e., they may not promote discrimination, disrespect for the
| individual, violence, etc.).  It is the responsibility of
| employees who utilize such notes files to do so in a manner
| consistent with both the letter and spirit of this policy and the
| Company's values.  The Company reserves the right to terminate
| any notesfile it believes is inappropriate or in violation of
| this policy.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTENT OF MESSAGES SENT OR POSTED ON NETWORK

| Messages mailed or posted over the Digital network are the
| responsibility of the original author.  Posting these materials
| in a notesfile/conference without the explicit permission of the
| author is prohibited and is a violation of this policy.

| When forwarding messages or posting them to conferences, removal
| or falsification of the original message header (which indicates
| the author) is prohibited.

COMPANY ACCESS

| Because networks, computer systems and accounts are resources the
| Company provides to its employees, the Company reserves the right
| to access those networks, systems and accounts as it deems
| necessary.

POLICY VIOLATIONS

| Managers who suspect systems are being used improperly should
| discuss the problem with the employee in question and, if
| appropriate, involve security.  In cases where improper use has
| been clearly established, the employee should be dealt with in
| accordance with the Corrective Action and Disciplinary Policy
| (6.21).

    For us West Coasters, and for late night easterners, there was indeed
    a "new" sports conference lasted night.  It was called the "New
    Non-Offensive Sports Conference", and the opening note was penned
    by JoJ hisself.
    
    By the time I left, it had about 13 topics or so (I  started two

    on my fingers.

Okay, then picking up where I left off....

11...12...13...14

and we'd have to correct REK's 8 to 10 of course...

    Can anyone explain how I can get a print out of the entire Sports
    Directory.  I've tried Forward/Noedit, but all I get is the last note
    read.
    
    Thanks,
    PJ

Try 

	DIR/OUTPUT=filespec 1-last

then look in your default directory for that filespec, and it will
contain the directory.....

HTH,
(go Reds!)

    I believe that the non-technoweeniest way to accomplish this is simply
    to do a directory starting at note 1, then hit "Print Screen" on your
    keyboard at each page of the directory.......
    
    No problem.

wtf is wrong with the network database on OUrgng? How come we get node numbers
instead of node names? Somebody heet that system mangler upside the heead and

Unless you don't have the disk space of course...

    that's quite a chunk with today's network!

    Jeff Riggen told me that there is something wrong around the database
    of OURGNG and he will fix it next week.  He is in a class this week.

    Sorry for the upper case.  Maybe it would help if some rules of the
    conference were entered into the system.  It would really help out the
    new people that are trying out the conference.  On thing I haven't been
    able to accomplish is how to create a window so that if someone dosen't
    want to see it they can pass it right up.  
    
    	This is one example that should be put into a reference file if
    someone has trouble in the conference...
    
    Sorry again....
    
    On a later date..!

     Another question::
    
    	Wondering how to open up a file.  So far, I haven't seen anything
    on skiing.  With me being a big ski buff I would like to know how to
    open up a account.  Also how can you delete unwanted files?  My list is
    huge and it takes forever to go through them all.  There are only
    certain files I would like to access and don't wish to waste time
    trying to find the files.  Some files have never even beed accessed and
    should be removed.  I'm just starting out and need a little help.  Just
    want to join in on the fun of the conference and share some of my own
    thoughts with you all.
    
    See ya On the Dark Side ::
    
    The Bart....
    

    > ......instead are talking about the Celtics, Bobby Knight, the Broncos,
    > and Dean Smith.
    
    Don't forget music, religion, politics, and sex!  :-)
    
    Go ahead, open a new topic.  We're long overdue for a good diversion in
    one or all of the above.....  :-)
    
    Hawk

A couple of other things:

	There's a topic in here (124 I think) which is the trademark
	topic.

	Over time, people come up with nifty expressions in here, and
	they kind of catch on.  They trademark (tm) them.

	For example, one that comes to mind is Detriot(tm), which came
	into being because of the bad boy Detroit Pistons.  Anyway, 
	if you observe for a while, you'll get the hang of when to
	(tm) something and when not to.  Since you're new we'll cut ya
	some slack 8^)


	Also, you'll learn about RCASO.  RCASO was a guy who used to
	note in here, but as has been previously said by others, he
	couldn't type too well, and tended to use lots of upper case.
	Anyway, he inadvertently came up with some gems of expressions.
	if you see "YOU OUR TOO BLAM"  (translation:  you are to blame)
	you'll know it's an RCASO expression, as are the words nexted,
	lasted, firsted etc....

	You won't really be accepted into the fold until you start one
	helluva digression on guitar players.  The moderators will tolerate
	it for a couple of hundred replies or so, then they get mad and
	tell you to knock it off.  If you can get them to that point,
	you'll be golden (but then knock it off 8^))

	Finally, you've got to do SPORTShrooms....  

later,
Chainsaw

You can also type HELP at the notes prompt, and it'll give you info on
various subjects.

You can also skip topics in which you have no interest by hitting the 
' [ NEXTED UNSEEN ] on your keypad.

If you have a specific editor you ordinarily use, ie. I use sort of a
customized EVE, you can set up a SPAWN sequence in a NOTES$EDIT.COM
file.

PS -  As this notesfile has a home in Colorado, any bad mouthing of John
`god'(tm) Elway, can have serious rip-her-cushions (tm). Just ask Mike
Childs: he's had his peepee whacked so many times he said it's more like
a splinter than a woodie.

Hope this helps... and welcome aboard.

    And for some serious help  (some of us tend to be a little more serious
    than others of us, but you'll find out quickly enuf about who's who).
    
    If you are *really* interested in skiing, there is a notesfile
    dedicated to the sport.  It's on DSSDEV::SKIING.  If I manage to do
    everything right, you should be able to hit KP7 and add it to your
    notebook.  It's got lots of info on conditions, and equipment, and how
    to stuff, and where to stay and eat when in the mountains, and good
    routes to ski slopes, etc. etc.

re Mac:


Even us serious ruggers have to make a little mischief once in a while 8^)

    ...and never open a topic on throwing, flinging, slinging, pitching,
    tossing, casting, hurling, hurtling, heaving, chucking, lobbing,
    launching, catapulting, or passing little people.  It will get
    write-locked faster than you can hit NEXT RETURN.  
    
    Just ask JaKe.

I always knew Lee played the Bishop in "The Princess Bride"...

    Excuse me,  
    
    	Sorry to write this in the sports notes, but I haven't been able to 
    figure out how to start a file?  Please help.  I have several topics
    that some people might be interested and would like to start up a file
    on fishing and other such items.

Gents,

Reading your message I'm not sure if you want to start up a whole *conference*
(e.g. OURGNG::SPORTS) or just a topic within the SPORTS conference.

Anyway, I imagine it's a topic you want to start, so just type "write" instead
of "reply", and *presto* you have a new topic.  

Otherwise, contact Chainsaw as he is the offishull "New Topic Starter Upper".

If it's a whole conference you want to start, I don't remember    ;^{)))).

HTH,

rick ellis

Starting up a whole conference is pretty heavy stuff.  

When I started up the Hartford Whalers conference, I needed the permission
of my manager and our system manager.

As has been mentioned in here before, using the command WRITE will allow
you to start a new topic.  ALSO, there is a sample conference that comes
when you first open up notes.  There's a plethora of useful information
in there.

Finally, NOTES does have on line help.  Type help and browse around,
again, a plethora is useful, entertaining and helpful info is there....


Good luck,
Chainsaw

    
    Pat and Sean,
    
    	There is a whole conference dedicated to fishing.  Try adding
    	RAINBO::FISHING to your notebook.  That's where it was last
    	time I checked.
    
    Claybroon

    Should that kind of note be allowed here????
    
    Sheesh!!!Next thang ya know there 'l be a note on RASSLIN' !!!!!!
    
    Kev

Kev, it's only MANLY if you catch the fish hook in your ear as
you cast, and it rips open your earlobe.  That's MANLY.


Welcome to Pat and Sean's Excellent Noting Adventure!

       Might be at RANGER::FISHING now.
                                Denny

    All this fishing stuff reminded me of something I read in the Jokes
    file:
    
       It's not how deep you fish, it's how you wiggle your worm.

There are only 13 days of OURGNG::SPORTS left 

Only 11 shopping days left Frank. 

Are there any other options ??

I should know today -- Friday.

I've got to talk with my manager.  She was on the phone with her
manager when I left last night so I knew I wouldn't get the chance
to talk to her then...

I'll be down to the wire. 8^)

Trust me,
