"THIS IS NOT US. We may have a first here: the first real live authentic name conflict on Usenet. [Why me, Lord?] Would anyone knowing the possible identity of the other "utzoo" please pass this information on to me? My friend's comments suggest it may be in the Stanford area." - datamat!rumor, Thu Aug 13 00:56:51 1981.

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Twitter, Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.

To post a comment here, you need to:

Configure a newsreader¹ to connect to the server koldfront.dk on port 1119 using nntps (nntp over TLS).
Open the newsgroup called lantern.koldfront and post a follow up to the article.

¹ Such as Thunderbird, Pan, slrn, tin or Gnus (part of Emacs).

Or, you can fill in this form:

Name	Email
Text
To protect against robots, a little arithmetic:+=
