Followup-To: rec.humor.d

I would like to compile the Hacker's Hymmnal.  Toward that end, please
send your contribution, whatever form it may take, to me; I will compile,
format, and post the results.  Nothing is too strange to be considered.
Original works, as well as parodies, are welcome.

A secondary request: Someone on the net has this ditty in his .sig.......
     A host is a host from coast to coast
     And noone will talk to a host that's close
     Unless of course the host that's close
     Is busy, hung, or dead!   
I'd like to get in touch with the author, so I can get permission to use
this in the Hymmnal and give him proper credit.

Wes

     Lint is the compiler's only means of dampening the programmer's ego.

	To the theme of Mr. Ed, of course.  As I recall, it went:

A host is a host and from coast to coast
No one will log on a host that's close
Unless the host (that isn't close)
Is busy, hung or dead.
