This reminds me of the time some years back when an instructor at Texas
Tech gave an assignment in which students had to write to the USENET Oracle
(now the Internet Oracle) for e-mail practice, without explaining that the
Oracle was a forum for anonymous creative writing and humor. We got
hundreds of notes from mainly clueless users, all signed with a canned
e-mail .sig, e.g., 'MIKE NOLAN, STUDENT'. It wound up a part of the Oracle
mythos, but at the time it wasn't all that funny.
It is distressing to find that there are still clueless trainers out there.
