Editor Log: January 2001 (idea)

I'll be adding to this throughout the month, so please check back from time to time. If the write-ups appear to still be there, the chances are that they're on Node Row awaiting execution.

Killed: Jan 4

• Finnish by Shrewd, Pseudo Intellectual, ariels and norev. All one-liners superseded by Webster 1913 and a really good wu by nine9
• Now I'm Bitter text: What the glass of tea says after you leave the tea bag in for too long by flamingweasel how not to 'rescue' a nodeshell.
• temperature of the throne by pretre. One sentence, and a pointless one at that.
• notCowbotNeal by tres equis. Full text: Who is he and why is he here?

Killed: Jan 6

• what should you do if you come across a herd of angy elephants? text: apologize. ...and wipe it off. by zot-fot-piq. Noding for the ages doesn't really mean noding the oldest jokes in existence, does it? Gods: Please title edit the nodeshell, correcting 'angy' to 'angry'.
• Michael Robert Batchelder by britishcoal. "Me". On your homenode please. Nodeshell can probably go too.

Killed: Jan 9

• spork porn by tregoweth text (nuke me!) (well, maybe leave the nodeshell...) Anything to oblige.
• penalty killing by DMan. One liner, superseded.

Killed: Jan 12

• cumguzzling by nailer. Sitting at - 5. /msg'd newbie user to suggest s/he file a nuke request to let it die without penalty. No response.

Killed: Jan 16

• Kendall Jackson by chrislike text Kendall Jackson -- a guy i know i introduced to Everything just today. He's kinda like CowboyNeal, only not at all. Really likes The Straight Dope. Nodeshell can be nuked.
• If I was a woman that wrote lots of explicit nodes about masturbating by Attache and burnboy. Another node about nodes about masturbation, added nothing to the database. Nodeshell could do with nuking.
• the unholy easter bunny by evil poet. No hardlinks and the lack of formatting made it virtually unreadable.
• Tell the truth by li text Tell the truth--no one will ever believe it.. Hmmmmm, yes.
• arend. keycowboy's only write-up. Full text, which contains no links a dude with no spare time. at all.
• internet censorship by ohe. Text A very very Silly idea indeed.
• Nicholas Meyer by mikewertheim. Superseded by moodster's more thorough wu.

Killed: Jan 17

• What Happens to Dead Muppets? by cananian. No links.

Killed: Jan 18

• Got Milk? by Chris Gore. 2 words ("Got root?"), no links, no point.

Killed: Jan 19

• I predict that this node will get nuked by bheistein. The word(?) "Pr0n!" repeated ad nauseum with an "is fun" at the end. Uncanny psychic abilities there. No mercy.

Killed: Jan 20

• Why do people vote nodes down? by WarMachine.
• melissa virus source by WarMachine.
• Please shoot me! by WarMachine.
  
• The Man with two Brains by WarMachine.
  These were all the result of finding the first wu and surfing to the user's home node, where he had helpfully listed his lowest wus and their rep -- all were sitting at a -5 or below, and deserved to die (the first was at -18.) Please people, if you see the reps of your writeups slip this low, give them some attention and improve them, or, if they can't be saved, request a nuke.
• Filed a nuke request of the node Top 10 Reasons I'm Glad I'm not a woman simply because there were a couple of wus in it that didn't deserve penalising, although the node as a whole was somewhat rancid.

Killed: Jan 21

• Poem for the Young White Man.... by SlackMeister. Follow up wu to a poem by Lorna Dee Cervantes, noded by Evil Catullus. Text: Yes, and David Duke believes black men like to rape white women for fun, and Jerry Falwell believes the teletubbies are teaching babies to be gay. Your point??? Linkless, pointless. User messaged with explanation as it was his/her first wu.
• PureDoxyk's write-up in sensitivity and fat people. It was a bigoted, mean-spirited and trollish wu, sitting at -38. The other wus in the node are responses to this unpleasantness, and are generally angry and hurt in tone. They could probably do with disposal, but don't deserve to be penalised, so I have filed a nuke request. (note: I killed my own wu in this node, with penalty, some time ago, and have been coming back and forth to it ever since. as PureDoxyk is again active on E2, now seemed as good a time as any to kill it.)
• Why are you reading this node by s_alanet. Text The meaning of this node is obvious if you read the title. See: incredibly dull reading, stop reading this and go do something constructive, and if you are still reading this, you will probably never experience reality. Answer to the title "So I can kill it"

Killed: Jan 23

• Everything Style Guide by sabre23t. Added nothing to the node.

Killed: Jan 28

• Earring Magic Ken by ohe. Text: I wonder if he was into genital piercings?
• american bitchface by judibooty. No links, no formatting, inappropriately titled.
• All three write-ups by user 403, these being 403, pimpwar .exe game and ww.variousthings.co.uk. The user has only logged on to E2 once, when he shared these three write-ups with us. One was a personal profile, the other two advertisements for his website and a game he'd written. All three were hideously misspelled, and a grammatical nightmare. Goodbyeeee.

Killed: Jan 29

• pos looks tasty by pos
• Both pointless one-liners.

Killed: Jan 31

• Chris Parsons by ChrisMDP A personal profile. On your home node, please.

And as usual, a whole bunch of short E1 carryovers

Cooled this month

• graceful by deep thought. Beautiful, evocative writing
• Eyes Wide Shut. Several well thought out and interesting reviews, both positive and negative.
• I'm angry, and tired, and sad, and I just don't want to deal with it right now, so fuck off.. Both write-ups in the node are excellent.
• Why do computer geeks feel they were born in the wrong time? I was given the heads up to look at this node and was glad I did. Good stuff.
• I had the pleasure of interviewing a former Anne Geddes model... by MacArthur Parker. So funny.
• Judith Viorst by junkpile. Wow!
• Marie Antoinette. Useful.
• parenthood readiness test by fugitive247. Made me laugh. A lot. Wryly, perhaps.

Questions/comments always welcome.
