Ok, so we have these things called LISTSERV's for each class here at VT. And it's basically just a mailing list for announcements. Well..these people in my CS are always yelling at each other through email because they're pissed off because our class is kinda unfair (to them)...and there's 2 types of people on the listserv; People who bitch about the class, and people who bitch about the SPAM that they get from the people who bitch about the class.

This is the email that some guy wrote while protesting about how our class was unfair. All you have to do is read up to the 9th line then you'll see what I'm talking about...some people are just plain stupid.

Viva la revolucion!!!
Viva!
Lets burn the whole school!!
Shoot the teachers!
Bomb the library! (Please note that none of these three statements are
at all serious and that I am not muslim or of muslim descent. I have
not been to the middle east in the past year and I do not sympathize
with the Taliban or with persons who burn schools, shoot teachers, bomb
libraries, or or oppose the system in anyway.)



Seriously though, this class is a joke.
Those of you for whom the system worked, congratulations. For the rest
of us, this class bites. It also embodies one of the primary
difficulties with computers today. It is not wise to make yourself
dependent upon computers until you are reasonably certain that they
won't assign grades based upon the current value of the Yen. We are
paying to come to this school (well, I'm not, but you are) and as such
we deserve get a fair grade. These grades have NOT been fair.
Moreover, the lectures have been pointless and boring. I get up at 8
o'clock to get bored out of my skull. And why have due dates on the
quizzes if the computer is doing the grading. Why not let people do
quizzes at their own convenience.

I had the same thing happen on a medieval philosophy listserv, people started emailing really dumb sh!t. I filtered that crap to a folder and pretty much ignored it.
