Um, this thread is beginning to take a peculiar turn, here. I have been
assured by the Keeper of the AFU Undead that I am indeed un-undead, and have

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm hoping Vicki will follow-up this post, thus quoting herself quoting herself.
[Official Vicki's-in-my-.sig list deleted]
Has she made the FAQ yet? What about the Guiness Book? I've been enjoying
Vicki's articulate, intelligent postings since I first started reading this
group (and no, it was not AFTER I started posting here). She deserves to be
in the FAQ. If the .sig-virus won't do it, perhaps we can get a UL about her
started?

First off, the phrase is:
"Danger! Will Robinson, DANGER!" this line is credited to the robot of
'Lost in Space' but the robot WASN'T named Twiki! In fact the robot
NEVER had a name. He was ONCE called 'Hero' in an early episode, the
Heath Co. then introduced a kit robot bearing the same name. Irwin
Allen Productions claimed "It's not our robot!".

Hey! Hey! Hey! I *deeply* resent that remark! Not only that, I have a
sister named Debbie. 250 Shergolds to the first email correctly identifying
LIS's Debbie Robinson.
Wow! Ted! Way to go, guy! You even got a personal insult out of this one!
I think we have to subtract half a point for all the cross-posting, as that
lowers the difficulty level, but still, a sterling achievement. From one
South-side Chicagoan (past tense) to another (present), I salute you!
And Erik? A little reconstructive surgery will take care of those hook scars
very nicely. Insurance should cover it. Be careful with those barbs, now,

I don't know about numbers actually quoting in .signature files but, out
of 664 articles currently on the spool directory (we expire AFU after 3 days
becuse it's just too big...) 264 mentioned Vicki by name, After a little
massaging with sort -u and deleting Vicki's own posts there were 102 seperate
and unique mentions of her name. That's not counting the people who
mention Vicky Robertson and any clever dicks who might have rot-13'd it.
That's a lot of obsessed AFU'ers.

someone else in one of my .sigs

This has got to be a troll.
1) obvious, obvious misspellings
2) repeats the conception that the NSA funds the net
3) prim acronymization "U.L."
4) goofy 8-line signature mentioning PGP
5) no evident awareness of the entire previous week of AFU postings

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is there no stopping of Vicki's perfidy? How many more marriages will she destroy and families break-up, all because of her greedy desire to be in ever more sigs? On the other hand, it is heartwarming to think of Michael and his family gathering around the family CRT each evening to read AFU, to chuckle at the musings found there, and to have a good time ridiculing newbies. Ah ... this, my friends, is a family which will endure, in spite of Vicki's malicious sig-hogging. This is family values in action.

It took Kibo _years_ of insidious grepping to become noticed, then more
years still before he got his own newsgroup and then even more before
alt.religion.kibology.
That's not very impressive really, after all within only a couple of months
our very own Vicki Robinson has captured the .sigs of a _whole_newsgroup_

From: joltes@husc7.harvard.edu (Richard Joltes)
Until last week I'd always thought .sigs were funny but kinda useless. It
was then, however, that I received e-mail from Vicki "net.goddess" Robinson.
Said she: "Wow! I'm in *Dick Joltes'* .sig!? I've really made the big
time now!" (or something to that effect).
This started the wheels turning...and then the patented overhead light bulb
came on.
Announcing: the latest in advertising technology! .SigAds!
Yes, you too can have your slogan or product advertised by a legendary AFU
old hat, Terry, or other net.god! Think of the exposure! For the smallest
fee, your ad (3 lines maximum) can be posted to multiple groups. Just think
how useful it would be to have your favorite phrase splattered across alt.
sex.bestiality, alt.flame.ted-kaldis, or <gasp!> cross posted to alt.religion.
kibology!
There you have it, folks. The ad of the future. Mark my words, in ten years
it'll be ... well, too big to think about!
Or not.

Didn't Captain Robinson have a teenage daughter? And didn't she get to wear
a neat uniform and everybody liked her but she didn't seem to have a real job,
just did *odd* jobs around the Boat? And every once in a while she'd
get Romantically Involved with a Dreammy Guy but he always turned out
to be a bounder, so it didn't work out? But being the cute spunky kid
that she was, she never let it get her down for too long?
And wasn't her name *Vicki* ?????

In my capacity as thread-terminator of alt.folklore.urban, I hereby
declare "Please take this interminable Vicki Robinson .sig fad to a more
appropriate newsgroup, such as alt.fan.warlord or talk.bizarre or
alt.really-boring."
It's gotten old. It's gotten STAGGERINGLY old. It's gotten so old that
people have lost sight of how old it's gotten and have started KEEPING
TRACK of who's COOL ENOUGH to have included Vicki Robinson in their
.sig. Ye gods -- to think that a reader of alt.folklore.urban would
actually sit there, noting down who's used the words "vicki robinson" in
their .sig. Yet it's happened.
Just let it drop. It's no longer funny, not that it was ever very funny
in the first place, and it's getting to be a serious pathology in a.f.u.
when people sling barbs back and forth about who does a better job using
"Vicki Robinson" in their .sig. Just let it drop. Let the madness end.

That would be _One Million_, by Hendrick Hertzberg, Times Books,
1993, paperback, $14, Kivi. 4to, at least, I guess.
I haven't bumped into this book myself, but it was reviewed in the
December, 1993, SciAm. The book has two hundred pages with 5,000
black dots apiece. About a thousand dots get special attention: the
population of Eden, the number of steps to the top of the Empire State
Building, the weight of a swarm of locusts, the number of interracial
married couples is the U.S., and about a thousand more.
The first edition was first published 20 years ago when it cost only
145 cents more than two fifty.
I briefly considered getting a copy for my six-year-old nephew, but
wisely decided he'd prefer something noisy.
