Subject: What happened with Tyger
Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1993 00:13:09 -0500
Ok, no big deal. As far as I understand, here's what happened:

Tyger signed off last week cuz he thought he was losing his account.
He found out that he wasn't losing his account (ie, bribed someone :-)
He signed up again.
He posted.
He didn't realize he didn't set his distribution options to 'repro' and
thus never got his postings back.
He thought it didn't go through cuz he never saw it.
He posted again.
He didn't see it.
He sent me a message saying 'where's my postings?' to which I replied "uh
. . . huh huh huh huh huh . . . like . . . what posting dude"
I then told him to post it again "just to be sure"
He did.
I realized it was the same one I'd seen twice before.
I realized he musta forgotten to reset repro
I told him.
He smacked his forehead and said 'duh'.
Hundreds of little Faeries danced around in a circle singing gleefully before
the were swallowed by a hungry fire-breathing dino-carp. *burp*
