Thu Apr 1 18:12:12 PST 1999 — An April Fool has taken it upon themself to broadcast messages to customers on the shell server which claim to be from Sonic.net staff. To prevent this annoyance, we’ve turned on ‘mesg n’ in the systemwide profile for now. If you wish to use the ‘talk’ or ‘write’ commands, you’ll need to turn on ‘mesg y’. If you’ve got any feedback or questions, please post to news:sonic.net. -Scott
