Harlan Ellison once e-mailed my favorite undergrad professor in a  
blinding rage because a student at my college had been writing a  
paper, wanted to mention "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream," and  
posted to USENET asking if anyone knew of an online copy. The student  
wasn't actually one of my professor's, so he was a bit puzzled...

The point of this story is that if Harlan Ellison is frothing, you  
can safely conclude that the moon has not crashed into the Earth. But  
little else.
