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.)

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.

'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.

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.
I'm doing it during my own free time, out of the goodness of my heart.
Donations are encouraged!

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, it is
easy to block.  They'd chose to block it 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 is being killed in an effort to clean up misplaced binary
groups in alt.  Bill Hazelrig (haz1@kimbark.uchicago.edu) will issue the
rmgroup message for it on March 12, 1996, and suggests
alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities for pictures of Sandra.  Check posts by
him in a.f.s-b for more details.

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.  I
know this seems a bit excessive, but it's the only way.  And just because
some other groups break these rules doesn't make it all right.  It's OK to
drive 85 in a 55 zone too, until the radar gun settles on your car (watch
out for those cops on I-81 in Virginia - they're ruthless).

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. There are "photos" of her nude running around,
but they're all fakes. 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:  I 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: I can answer all these questions here, but I'd be stealing the thunder
from many group members who said it better.  If you have a web browser,
look at their pages.  Again, I refer you to the list of Sandra Bullock Web
sites below.  My answers to these questions are:

Sandra Annette Bullock is originally from Arlington, Virginia (about 5
minutes from me!), 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 LA) in children's choruses of her mother's productions in
Europe.  Her family moved to DC when she was a teenager, attending
Washington-Lee High School with at least one reader of this group!  She
majored in drama at East Carolina University (NC).  Her most recent
birthday (July 29) made her 30 years old, although there is lively debate
that she may be anywhere from 28 to 32.  As far as what movies she's done,
here's a copy of her filmography.
(For a more current version of this, check out the movie databases below.)

    1.In Love and War (1996) [Agnes von Kurowsky]
    2.Kate and Leopold (1996)

As far as Sandra's relationships, apparently she's become a party hopper in
LA, but is losing her anonymity with her stardom. She'shas been seen with
The Net camera grip Don Padilla (Look on the web site for a picture of them
together). Other odds and ends: Her feet are size 8 1/2, and she installed
her own toilet (both from an interview with Jay Leno). If you'd like to add
your own little bits of information post them and I'll add them to this
FAQ. All this information here was from previous posts to the group.


Q: I saw "The Net" and I was impressed.  Is Sandra really on the Internet?

A: Yes, we're proud to say she is.  Most other stars haven't embraced the
Internet the way she has.  Could we really have a better looking
spokesperson?  :)

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.  :(

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

A: Sandra has said that she has an email account under a different name,
but no one knows what it is, and we probably wouldn't give it out anyway
even if we did know.  She needs her privacy, too.

Q: What about S Bullock@aol.com?  Or sbullock@aol.com?  Or that address
that was given out on Leno's show?

A:  They're all unconfirmed.  The Leno address has been deleted.  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 AOL discussion forums though, even
being the subject of one.  Those of us looking outside of AOL haven't been
able to find her though.

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 (gmah@garry.mah.private.ca).

United Talent Agency (UTA)
ATTN: Sandra Bullock

Beverly Hills, CA 90212

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

A: Well, you can mail me,  check Gary Louie's great FAQ, or just post your
question to the group.  Maybe it's not a frequently asked question!

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

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 you administrator to pick it up.  Usually he will.  If he
doesn't, seek out better internet access.  If you still have problems, drop
me a line and I'll see what I can do.

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, I see the list below, but where did the descriptions go?

A: I felt like I was editorializing too much on the content of various
sites.  Here, they're broken up into four simple categories, and listed in
no particular order.  If this is annoying to you, please drop me a line,
and I'll try to think of a better way to do it.  For an easier way of
accessing this list, check out the version of this FAQ on the website,
where every link is clickable.

Q: Finally, how accurate is this list?

A: I checked out all these links on 29 December 1995, and they worked then.
If you have found a new page not shown here, or one of these links doesn't
work, or I screwed up something somehow, drop me a line.  Thanks.
