USENET grew one pant-size that autumn.



Did it ever, and this parody stuck in my mind:

Open the pod bay door, please, Hal... Hal, do you read me?

    Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Then open the pod bay doors, HAL.

    I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me.
Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL?

    Although you took very thorough precautions to make sure I couldn't hear you, Dave. I could read your e-mail. I know you consider me unreliable because I use a Pentium. I'm willing to kill you, Dave, just like I killed the other 3.792 crew members.
(etc.)
