I wonder who wrote this:

Beishon, M (1984) Usenet's Pranks and Pragmatism. Hardcopy, 13(8), 20--28

Answer: me.

Sadly I don't think I have a copy, not even a hardcopy (and Hardcopy
was a US magazine of users of Digital Equipment Co computers such as
the Vax and PDP-11, which were the the key Unix machines of the day).
