Thread discusses news about Koko the chimp and fired caretakers, with tangential jokes about people being awful and references to unrelated incidents.
Two fired caretakers for Koko claimed they were pressured to expose their breasts as a way of bonding with the 300-pound simian.http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-02-19-koko_x.htm?csp=34
Kruger would never allow 2 caretakers to do this, he runs a real tight ship.
People, They're the worst!

My Gammy told me that if you delimit your .sig using "-- ", many newsreaders will omit it, and any lines occurring afterwards, when following up.
Regarding Koko, she seems obsessed.
Obsessed with breasts.
Wow, that's hard to sign.
You need to stop callinmg Gammy so early in the morning. Sometimes she's been out real late.

Okay, I had a "- -" and changed it to a "--". Let's see if that helps.
Thanks for the tip.
Perversely, the would-be standard [1], requires the trailing space,
as in "-- ", followed by a carriage return.

Of course, I could find no record of this 1994 draft, informally known as "son of rfc 1036 [2], ever being adopted. One of the things on my phone list to discuss with women when I'm nervous is "How come Usenet's underrated?"
