I was interested to note the reappearance of Jesus Monroy on
bsd-related newsgroups recently (starting around March 24).
I remembered his unique style of disrupting the flow of
newgroup conversation, starting around 1993 if I remember
correctly, with meta-discussions, bad spelling, inanities
regarding sex, incorrect technical information and other
classic newsgroup disruptor behavior. I notice from his
content and volume of posting since he has reappeared that
nothing has changed.A search of Usenet archives revealed something interesting,
however. Searching for postings by
jmo...@netcom.com, his
old address, gave three postings made between 1995 and 1997
(the archives didn't reach back to 1993). Two of these
postings were not signed "Jesus Monroy", but rather "John L.
Sokol" or some variation thereof (addresses given were
so...@reyes.stanford.edu and
so...@escape.com). The
postings and a finger of
so...@reyes.stanford.edu are
attached. I note the connection to the East Coast implied
by the 201 area code number in the finger output.
"Jesus Monroy" might translate as "Jesus my King". We now
have the opportunity to build a profile of our poster, if
indeed he is John L. Sokol.
- the name might be a jab at the religious inclinations of
some of the (best members of) the BSD community, i.e.
the religiousity with which positions are pursued in the
Unix community
- based on this and the Stanford angle, we might infer that
John/Jesus is of a mindset group which occurs occasionally
in the top of the academic community, which worships the
hard rationalist, scientific atheist mindset prevalent
in western science before the 1960's and has contempt
for right-brain, wholistic approaches to reality. These
are essentially conservative people, who fall on (and
frequently fail in) the "reality" (in a limited western
sense) end of the "reality"-imagination duality. The
underlying duality here is between a differentiating
approach to existence represented by this scientific
subcommunity, and an integrating one, represented in
this instance by the Unix community.
- the connection to the (again conservative) corridors of
high academe and the inclination towards materialism
implied by the content of the postings (trolling for
women (were you with Ann, John, when you posted that one?
(see posting 2)) , trolling for real estate customers who
will "take their customers on the patio for lattes",
trolling for customers for a porn site) might reflect
another aspect of an opposition to the ethereal and
not-in-touch-with-"Reality" (yes, the Connected
conservative kind) orientations of much of the Unix
community.
All very interesting. Of course, this is irrelevant if
the linkage between John L. Sokol and "Jesus Monroy" does
not exist. (The possibility must of course also be
considered that both names are fictitious.)
But if it does, it would be interesting to know who
John L. Sokol is, and any other interesting linkages which
might turn up. For example, was there some connection
between the Jolitzes and Stanford ? I frankly don't give a
damn why John/Jesus feels the need to disrupt BSD
newsgroups, but I think more information on him would be
very enlightening. And what, John/Jesus, made you suddenly
reemerge now, at the end of March 1999 ? Outside of the
airstrikes on Kosovo, nothing exceptional is going on right
now, either in the *nix space or in the world at large.
Was it postings on Kosovo ? What was it that drove you to
post again ?

I am looking for hispanic or asian or indian women to meet
for friendship and if there chemistry then maybe more.
Ultimately, I want to find a wife, But I know that not going to
be an easy task. I have very unusual taste in women and I
very seldom run into the type of women that I find really
ative.
About me I am a 27 Year old white male(professional computer
programmer) 6 Feet 2 inches tall 230 Lbs, pritty good shape,
but I'm working to improve it even more. Dark brown hair and
hazel eyes.
I'm not expecting much and I'm not some kind of creep, I
just am not into the type of woman that I guess people
expect me to be into, So it's rare when I get
to meet a woman that really takes my breath away.
I have had only 5 girlfriends in my past 2 spanish and 1 asian
and I still love them very much , Thing just didn't work out
and I with that they did, but It's been a while now and
before I consider something out of desperation like a mail
order bride I'd like to meet some real down to earth people.

something new.
You also want to remain independent. NOW there this is
space where this is happening.
Where? In VENICE, on Abbot Kinney in a FUNKY old building
with lots of character resides a professional office space.
It is nestled in a complex with restaurants, cafes and a
sculpture garden with pond. The office is connected with
the CYBER-JAVA Cafe. The first commerical electronic cafe
in L.A. Imagine enjoying a cappuccino or taking your
CUSTOMERS down to the back patio for iced lattes. If that
isn't tempting enough let me describe the space.
After entering a LIGHT SANDSTONE fascade you go up to the
first floor. A light open beamed room welcomes you with lots
of northern light. The space is divided into 5 rigid wall
CUBICLES. There is a kitchen, shared PRINTER, bathroom and
backroom.

taking the NEXT STEP in you companies growth?
The BIGGEST benefit might be your access to a high speed
internet connection. We share a T1 line with the Cafe next
door. You could be racing on the Net, surfing for
customers, or downloading files. It could definitely be THE
reason to move out of the home office and rent here.
So meet your fellow professionals on A.K. (Abbot Kinney).
We are just off Main between Rose and Washington in Venice and
mere blocks from the beach. Three in fact and the
boardwalk. Nothing like a little sun to tide you over
till the weekend.
