Trim your posts. Don't top post. GAFC, find the FAQ, and read it. This is not a flame. It is a warning before the real flames come. If you're crying now, you probably won't last long around here. -- Morgan Landry

FAQ Mod Quotes -- (updated: Sweetmorn, the 67th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3171)


    Every so often you will see a post letting people know that an updated Best of alt.os.linux.slackware Fortune Mod is available for download. The url is: <URL:http://fauxascii.com/linux/mod_quotes.html>
    This fortune mod is a collection of quotes either seen on AOLS or by AOLS regulars that were deemed so wise, funny, inflammatory or any combination of those that they were submitted for inclusion.
    Please take the time to follow the guidelines below and see to it that there will be a next release, as others have done to make the past releases possible.

FAQ's:


    1) Q: Why is the date on the FAQ wrong? Today is $(ddate).

    A: Note the word 'updated' before the date, it was updated that day, not posted.
    2) Q: When does the next mod quote come out?

    A: The fortune mod comes out when I feel like it, but if you feel that its been a while then you can nag me.

Prerequisites:


    1) The quote is either from a post in AOLS, an AOLS regular or about AOLS and/or one of its regulars. If not from AOLS the group must be mentioned.
    2) Quotes must be attributed.

    3) Quotes must be trimmed.

Reasons for sending them in:


    1) I have both a job and a life which means I don't always have time to read everything.
    2) I might have a different sense of humor; I might not have thought it funny.

Methods of sending them in:



    A) Via email

    1) The Subject line should match the following regex: "^Subject:.*mod\ quote$".

Thus "here is a mod quote":
will work just fine for a subject while "mod quote nomination" will not, so if you want to send an email that is not a submission you had better make sure that it doesn't match that. If you don't know what a regex is then you will probably become the victim of one of these quotes. Hint: 'man 7 regex'.

    2) The address to send them to is faux_pseudo in the realm of yahoo dot com.
    B) Via IM

    1) Send an IM to one of the following accounts:
yahoo_nick
   		 faux_pseudo
icq_uin 66618055
aim_nick proxyfugozi

    C) Via AOLS

    1) Reply to the post containing the modquote and enclose it in <mod quote> </mod quote> tags.

    Note: Since I don't always have the time to read all messages, the other methods are prefered, I might not see it if done this way.
