 David Jarmul here in your nation's capital. Are those of you outside the
 Beltway as anxious as I am for this miserable election campaign to end? 
 Maybe next time we can get the candidates to follow our pionet lead and just
 conduct the whole business by computer. For instance:
 
      I got bounced from the system. Trying to get back in. Advice?
      mbarry@washingt.dc
 
      Try keys on right. Check menu.
      ollie@ultrarig.wac.ko
 
      Did someone say menu?
      teddy@dynasty.mass
 
      To get back into system, log in remotely as outsider.
      tfoley@other.wash.not.dc
 
      or ask someone to massage your data.
      chuck@virginia.sen
 
      suggest you check the parent file.
      JEB@fla.gov
 
      maybe you have vaporware.
      huffingt@calif.ommm.mm.mm.
 
      That could be the problem. Am working with demo version.
      mbarry@washingt.dc
 
      demo version is corrupted. try new software: republ 94.0.
      bdole@senate.gov
 
      bdole is right. also check if you need new speaker.
      newt@bulldogs.ga
 
      make sure the file is convertible.
      bernadet@sofa.sogood.sen
 
      Help! My communications protocol is crashing!
      mario@albany.ny
 
      maybe you've logged on too many times. :)
      gpataki@someone.new.ny
 
      I also have communications problem. Can't exit o.j. newsgroup.
      dianne@nanny.me.too
 
      follow earlier advice: Check parent file.
      georgejr@lonestar.gov
 
      do any of you need the system operator (sysop) to help you?
      agore@infohigh.vp
 
      Thanks but no thanks. we don't need sysop.
      congress@house.sen
 
      hey, don't flame me!!! I'm running this system.
      sysop@whitehou.gov
 
      sure.
      bdole@senate.gov
 
      hee hee.
      newt@bulldogs.ga
 
      SYSTEM FROZEN
 
      logoff all users. create new chat group.
      voters@usa

      Well, maybe not. These impudent but appropriate views are my own, of
 course, not my employer's, but I do look forward to seeing where the rest of
 you take this thread before the polls close.

      WAIT! It's election day? Nobody told me. I wanted to be on the ballot!
