Hurray for the Usenet not being cool and hip like twitter. This old and 
obsolete technology that *doesn't* tie you down to 140 characters max 
nicely flies below the radar. At least if you don't count the binaries.

"They're not even capable of finding out who it really is potsing all 
this stuff on the usenets." Hmmm, that has a ring of the "famous last 
words".

Want absurd? How about a company where you could only get a new pen if 
you returned your empty pen and filled out a form in triplicate. With 
the empty pen. Very catch 22-y. If you could fill out the form, you 
didn't need the pen, if you couldn't fill it out, you weren't eligible 
to get a new pen. People who work in an environment like that tend to 
wake up as a cockroach one day.
