1. Basics
=====

Q: What's a FAQ?

A: 'FAQ' stands for "Frequently Asked Questions."  The goal of this file is
to answer questions about alt.fan.sandra-bullock that are commonly asked in
the group.

Q: Why is it alt.fan.sandra-bullock?

A: I'll break it down.  'Alt' is a huge conglomeration of newsgroups that
are essentially unmoderated discussion forums.  (If you want more
specifics, see news.answers.)

'alt.fan' is a series of groups where fans of things discuss things.
Hence, in alt.fan.sandra-bullock (abbreviated a.f.s-b) you will generally
find people discussing Sandra's merits.  This generally means flamebait,
such as posting "SANDRA SUX!", is not welcome.  Note that criticism can be
done so as not to be flamebait.

Q: Did you just say unmoderated?  Are you a moderator?  If so, who
appointed you?

A: Yes, unmoderated.  The only things not allowed here are things
prohibited by Usenet protocol - essentially this means 'spam' and illegal
posting (i.e. threatening to kill people, sending non-exportable things,
chain letters, etc.).  Note that protocol dictates that binaries (including
pictures) must be kept in groups with binaries in the name, and cannot
appear in alt.fan.sandra-bullock.  Anything else is game.

No, I'm not a moderator.  I'm simply writing this to help out people who
are new to this group.  No one appointed me, or asked me to write this.

Q: OK, so I found a.f.s-b.  How do I post here?

A: If you're asking this question, you're not ready to post here.  Ask your
news administrator to show you how to post, and do a few test posts to
misc.test first before posting here.  You don't want to embarrass yourself
in front of thousands of readers.

Q: Is that how many people will see my post?

A: Well, no one knows for sure how many people view Usenet or any
individual group.  But trust me, many, many people will see it, so try to
be professional.

Q: I agree!

A: Please don't just write a post to the group saying "I agree!" or "Me
too!"  You can either respond to an author by posting to the newsgroup or
by email.  If you are unsure of which method would be more appropriate, err
on the side of caution--send only an email message.

Q: You suck, man!

A: Try to keep the discussion away from flaming other readers of the group.
There have been some decent flame wars recently that have driven people
away.  Try to be on your best behavior - assume your grandmother was
reading your posts, to adapt an old saying to current times.  Consider this
quote from Sandra herself, from Entertainment Weekly (5/95):

"I rarely lose my temper, and only then when someone talks down to me or
when I see people treating other people with disrespect." - Sandra Bullock

=====
2.  What's in alt.fan.sandra-bullock (and what's not)?
=====

Q:  OK, back there you mentioned 'spam'.  What the hell does a bad potted
meat product have to do with Sandra Bullock?

A:  Exactly.  Spam has nothing to do with her, and is out very out of
place.  Spam in the Usenet sense is the posting of off topic material to
many Usenet groups.  The first of these was the famous Green Card spam, by
Arizona lawyers Canter and Siegel, and since then it's only gotten worse.
Basically, if you are trying to sell a product and no one has asked for
information about it in the newsgroup you're posting in, don't post it.
Same goes for unsolicited posts about pending internet regulation, missing
persons, or attempts to make money fast.  These topics all have their own
groups to discuss them in, so go there if your interested.  a.f.s-b is for
discussing Sandra Bullock and closely related topics only.

Q: What about pictures?  If I've got a picture of Sandra Bullock, why can't
I post it here?  Isn't this the right place?

A: No, you can't post it here.  You cannot post binaries in non-binary
groups.  News administrators do not like this at all.  Basically, all the
binaries are grouped together in alt.binaries.* so if a site chooses, they
are easy to block.  They'd chose to block them because there are copyright
issues involving transmitted pictures (who owns the image?) and the fact
that binaries take up large amounts of disk space.  Many disk-space-starved
admins drop alt.binaries to save space.  Basically, if they find binaries
in a.f.s-b, they'll kill the group and move it to the alt.binaries section
- restricting its audience and probably losing subscribers in the move.
This happened to a Paulina Porizkova newsgroup, for example.

Q: OK, can I post it in alt.fan.sandra-bullock.binaries?

A: This group was killed in an effort to clean up misplaced binary groups
in alt.  Bill Hazelrig (haz1@nwu.edu) issued the rmgroup message for it on
March 12, 1996, and suggests alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities for pictures
of Sandra.  Questions about this former newsgroup should be addressed to
news.admin.policy, alt.config, or to your local news administrator.

Q: So are you all anti-pictures?  Where can I post them so I won't get the
group in trouble?

A: Post them in alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities.  Label them in the
subject line as being Sandra, and then post a separate message (don't
crosspost them) in a.f.s-b saying what you posted in the binaries group.
This may seem a bit excessive, but it's the only way.  And just because
some other individuals and groups break these rules doesn't make it all
right.

Q: I have this nude photo of Sandra.  Want it?

A: Nope, because chances are it's a fake. Sandra has done one, possibly two
nude scenes in her career, and the photos haven't surfaced, as far as
anyone in this group knows. Yes, she "admitted" here are "photos" of her
nude (on Leno), but she then held up a picture of a male bodybuilder with
her head taped on it..  The Leno "admittance" was a gag.  They're all
fakes, folks.  A good airbrushing job in Photoshop will hide the clothes
she was wearing at the photo shoot. We've seen the originals.

Q: So no one can post photos of her here, and I haven't seen any photos of
her recently on alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities.  Where can I get photos
of her?

A:  We suggest you look at one of the several quality Sandra Bullock image
sites on the World Wide Web.  The photos are easier to view, easier to
download, and save bandwidth in general.  There is a list of these sites at
the end of this FAQ.

=====
3.  What about *her*?
=====

Q: Tell me the basics about Sandra.  Where is she from, what movies has she
done, does she have a boyfriend, etc.?

A: This question is best answered on the World Wide Web.  Several sites
have up-to-date running histories of Sandra and what she is doing.  Check
the Informational Sites list at the end of this document.  The information
following here is just a tease of what you can find at those sites.

Sandra Annette Bullock is originally from Arlington, Virginia, but now
lives in L.A.  Her father was opera teacher and her mother (currently a
vocal instructor at Mary Washington College (VA)) was a German opera
singer. She grew up in Germany and on the road, singing with her sister
(who currently lives with her and is a law student at Southwestern in L.A.)
in children's choruses of her mother's productions in Europe.  Her family
moved to the Washington, DC area when she was a teenager, attending
Washington-Lee High School with at least one reader of the newsgroup.  She
majored in drama at East Carolina University (NC).  Her upcoming birthday
(July 29) should make her 32 years old, although there is lively debate
that she may be anywhere from 29 to 33.

She has an extensive career in acting, and has recently started writing
(Making Sandwiches) and producing (Kate and Leopold), founding her own
production company.  Here is a list of TV shows and movies she has been
associated with.

Sandra's become a party hopper in LA, but is losing her anonymity with her
stardom.  The Hollywood rumor mill has placed her with several men, but she
appears to have plenty of guy-pals and no boyfriend.  She has not been seen
with 'The Net' camera grip Don Padilla recently, a man she had been
frequently seen with last year.  Padilla and Bullock broke up when he was
caught cheating on her with his former lover Claudia Ontiveros.  She seems
to have become increasingly reliant on her friends and family, with her
father and an old college friend escorting her to two recent Hollywood
award functions. All this information here was from previous posts to the
group, and if you'd like to add or correct it, post your comments to the
newsgroup.

Q: Is Sandra doing Speed 2?  Who is starring opposite her?

A: Yes, she has signed to do Speed 2.  Keanu Reeves has not been
cooperative, and in his place the powers that be have selected Jason
Patric.

Q: Is Sandra really on the Internet?

A: Her agent, in the Wall Street Journal 3/28/96, says she is.  However, it
would seem she only uses the Internet for e-mailing friends and relatives.

Q: Does Sandra monitor this group?

A: Unfortunately, if she does she has just been lurking.  As far as we
know, she's never seen or read alt.fan.sandra-bullock.  :(  She has said in
interviews that she is too afraid to look.

Q: Does she have email?  Can I email her?

A: Sandra has said that she has an e-mail account, but that it is under a
different name that she won't divulge.  She wants privacy, and her agent
suggests writing a snail-mail letter instead (address of her agent is
below).

Q: I heard she was on AOL.  What about S Bullock@aol.com?  Or sbullock@aol.com?

A: The America On Line addresses are AT BEST *rumored* to belong to her,
and the AOL profiles to these accounts indicate that they do not (one
indicates it's owner is a "Robert").  If it makes you feel better, go ahead
and send mail to them.  But you're likely just filing mail in a delete
spool somewhere.

Here's what a.f.s-b reader (and web site maintainer) Michael G. McCool had
to say:

===begin quote
What is Sandra's E-Mail Address?

First of all, What are you doing wanting it in the first place?  I don't
mean to sound rude, but Why do you even want it?  If Sandra wanted her
E-Mail address known, she would post it
somewhere.

For those of you who actually need an explination, here it is:

It is rumored that her address is sbullock@aol.com  I highly doubt this...
I am a member of aol, and I found a member profile for that screen name...
It looks just a little bit TOO correct.  here it is:

Screen Name:   S Bullock
Member Name:   Sandra Bullock
Location:      Escondido, California
Sex:            Female
Marital Status:        Single
Hobbies:Restoring old lofts, and just SLEEPING
Occupation:    Actress

As you can see, this doesn't look like her...  First of all, I don't think
that she would actually create a member profile to be found, and have her
mailbox flooded with email, and second, An account at AOL can have up to 5
different screen names...  Most likely, this is a hoax by someone.

I have read several articles about her, and from them, I don't think this
is really her.  The way this member profile is written, doesn't match with
the way she is depicted in ALL the articles I have read about her.

Judge for yourself if you think that this is the real McCoy or not.  I
don't think it is.

Hope this answers any and all questions about her e-mail address.

Here is what bskca@cnsnet.com wrote (taken from e-mail):
>I think I must agree with you, on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, she said
>that it took
>a couple of weeks to figure out a name. I doubt, like you, that she wouuld
>take weeks,
>just to come up with her real name? Have you ever tried the address you
>gave me?

I am also a member of AOL, so I can actually check to see if the e-mail I
sent (before I knew better) had been read.  I check several times over a
course of a month, and the e-mail had never been read. That leads me to
believe that the e-mail address sbullock@aol.com is
bogus.
===end quote

Q: Does she go on IRC?

A:  Apparently not.  She has been on moderated AOL discussion forums
though, being the subject of one.  She is just too afraid to make a public
presence on the net.

Q: Can I send her Postal Mail?

A: Sure.  According to Sir Fitz's incredible storehouse of knowledge, her
publicist is Stacey Wolf at 310-777-5454. This address was confirmed by
Garry Mah (amah@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca).

United Talent Agency (UTA)

=====
4. Well, that about wraps it up.
=====

Q: Hey, the answer to my question isn't in this FAQ!  Where can I get an
answer around here?

A: Check Gary Louie's great FAQ, or just post your question to the group.
Maybe it's not a frequently asked question!

Q: How do I go about editing or adding something to this FAQ?

A: Post your comments in response to this FAQ to the group
alt.fan.sandra-bullock.  Strike up a discussion about them.  If you think
it might be a FAQ, say so and someone will add it.

Q: Wait, my site doesn't get alt.fan.sandra-bullock.  What do I do?

A: There are links on the web sites that might work.  If that doesn't work,
politely ask your administrator to pick it up.  Usually he will.  If he
doesn't, seek out better internet access.  If you are really desparate, use
Dejanews (see the address at the end of the FAQ).

Q:  I can't access the World Wide Web.  What should I do?

A:  Get on it.  Ask your system administrator what you have to do to be
able to browse the web.  If he tells you you can't, find a better internet
service provider.

=====
5.  Sandra Bullock Web Sites
=====

Q: OK, so now you've gone and classified the sites again.  Why?

A: In previous versions I'd stayed away from editorializing because, from a
detatched perspective, I find myself to be a bit opinionated.  But the
links got so bad, I found myself using others web pages to get to the good
sites.  So the sorting began.  Picture sites may be sorted in the next
revision, if I find those links getting equally useless.

Q: Finally, how accurate is this list?

A: These links were checked on 22-23 July 1996, and they worked then.  If
you have found a new page not shown here, or one of these links doesn't
work, drop Todd a line at tlawson@amug.org.
