2g-1. What is a slug/tail/ears?

From a post by Heidi Anderson:
>Well, once upon a time in a newsgroup much like this one (oh, heck,
>who am I trying to kid, it *was* this one), a RABbit named Pirate
>Nick began welcoming delurking newbies. At first, it was a blast of
>the love hose with which they were welcomed. This eventually gave
>way to an ASCII pair of RABbit ears (examples to be found in
>dejanews). Years passed, and the fearless Pirate moved on to have
>a Real Life (tm), i.e. he disappeared from RAB. Others welcomed
>newbies in their own special ways, and then the slug appeared.
>Golgotha and myself both began welcoming newbies with ASCII slugs
>(Gol's being far superior to mine, and it was dubbed Sludge, and
>had it's own fan club. The slug story is another altogether...).
>Sludge disappeared. Months passed. I started welcoming newbies
>again, this time with RABbit tails. Who knows how long these will
>last?

The tails didn't last more than a few months, but the welcoming of
newbies is a tradition which hasn't died. Hopefully there will always
be someone around to greet the newcomers.
