5 GENERAL DISCLAIMER: BWMS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INFORMATION
|
|||
|
6 PLACED ON THIS SYSTEM.
|
|||
|
7 BWMS was created as an electronic bill board. BWMS is a privately owned
|
|||
|
8 and operated system which is currently open for use by the general public.
|
|||
|
9 No restrictions are placed on the use of the system. As the system is
|
|||
|
10 privately owned, I retain the right to remove any and all messages which
|
|||
|
11 I may find offensive. Because of the limited size of the system, it will be
|
|||
|
12 periodically purged of messages. (only 629 lines of data can be saved)
|
|||
|
13 To leave a message, type 'ENTER' and use ctrl/C or break to get out of the
|
|||
|
14 ENTER mode. The message is automatically stored. If after entering the
|
|||
|
15 message you find you made a mistake, use the replace command to replace
|
|||
|
16 the line. To exit from the system, type 'OFF' then hang up.
|
|||
|
17 Type 'HELP' to see other commands that are available on the system.

21 Hi All, it's lonely at the top. An old Latin saying,
|
|||
|
22 Finis coronate opus. [The end crowns the work.]
|

23 (I guess that isn't appropreate here, but I had to say it.)
|

24 Here's one for you Pascal programmers...
|
|||
|
25 Semicolins are useless and trivial.
|
|||
|
26 Or for the people that are feeling generally oppressed...

30 This board is a really great concept. Where else can anybody
|
|||
|
31 write something and have at least one other person (Mikey) read it?
|
|||
|
32 Good Job Mikey, I really like your board.

37 If DE, RE and CH won't work in ENTER ONLY mode and there's no way to get the

38 system out of that mode, how does everybody else edit their messages?? And why
|

39 does the sign-on bulletin say to use the replace command?

44 late because of a peculiar sort of creature called hereabouts 'a twit'.
|

45 The RE, DE, and CH commands work in that mode, thus the message at the top of

90 Perhaps it ought to be mentioned to n one in particular, that this system
|
|||
|
91 is lacking in an abundance of space. As is mentioned in the opening message of
|
|||
|
92 both disks,"only 629 lines" that can be used.
|
|||
|
93 Most important in that phrase is the term only. Although it often seems
|
|||
|
94 that 629 lines is a large size for each disk, it could be very much bigger with
|
|||
|
95 a slightly more conservative use of it. Things like taking up lines just to say
|
|||
|
96 that this is a marker, or that this is only checking in are wastefull.
|
|||
|
97 Even setting off partitions between different parts of an entry can be done
|
|||
|
98 very wastefully if no attention is paid to the size of space being abused.
|
|||
|
99 I am only worried that this is a trend and the enjoyment one gets out of
|
|||
|
100 each disk is somehow being diluted ( At least for me ) because of seeing what I
|
|||
|
101 consider an enormous amount of spce being taken up for no reason at all.
|
|||
|
102 It can be blamed on enter only, that because you cannot delete linmes when
|
|||
|
103 you find that you did not want them entered. This is possible, but since yoou
|
|||
|
104 cannot delete them, you must be carefull about entering them.
|
|||
|
105
|
|||
|
106 8AICFP<, I am paying you attention. I am sure we all are. Say, why for doo
|
|||
|
107 you use commas the same way Tilean uses periods? No offense is intended, simple
|
|||
|
108 curiosity though.
|
|||
|
109 ADRIAN, are you alright? It did not seem in yor story that you were. If you
|
|||
|
110 want to speak to someone about it, then please go on ahead and say so here. I
|
|||
|
111 already have made a not of your name, and you will receive a message from me
|
|||
|
112 after a bit.
|
|||
|
113 NINJA, do you still ferry across these waters? It has been a long time, my
|
|||
|
114 friend since we have talked to one another. Will you not welcome me on my
|
|||
|
115 return?

119 After He Tells Her He Is Not Happy
|
|||
|
120
|
|||
|
121 He is jovial now, overly so, and offers me pancakes
|
|||
|
122 instead of sympathy.
|
|||
|
123 I can tell from his tone he is
|
|||
|
124 free from the burden of trying to care
|
|||
|
125 but too kind to ask me to leave.
|
|||
|
126 I practice holding my breath and stare at the wall--
|
|||
|
127 he says we might be out of milk and hands
|
|||
|
128 me my bear when I sit up
|
|||
|
129 and try not to scream.
|
|||
|
130 I wish he would go to the kitchen so I could cry.
|
|||
|
131 He does,
|
|||
|
132 so I do.
|
|||
|
133 When I hear myself I sound like a child afraid.
|
|||
|
134 I feel last night's stickiness on my thigh
|
|||
|
135 and want a shower
|
|||
|
136 while he putters in the kitchen.
|
|||
|
137
|
|||
|
138 The shower is temperamental
|
|||
|
139 and hoards hot water.
|
|||
|
140 He joins me as I undress;
|
|||
|
141 he is quick and shucks his
|
|||
|
142 jeans and sweater
|
|||
|
143 before I hang my bathrobe on the hook.
|
|||
|
144 He has fiddled with the hot water--
|
|||
|
145 never quite satisfied--
|
|||
|
146 He has fiddled with the faucet--
|
|||
|
147 never quite satisfied--
|
|||
|
148 so I slip between the drops
|
|||
|
149 and turn the knob
|
|||
|
150 this way
|
|||
|
151 and that
|
|||
|
152 until I find a pleasant scald.
|
|||
|
153
|
|||
|
154 He hogs the stream;
|
|||
|
155 his longish curls relax and hug his neck.
|
|||
|
156 He is an unwashed Jesus bathing;
|
|||
|
157 if I look I might see stigmata,
|
|||
|
158 but for now I stand outside the spray
|
|||
|
159 and mark my palms with new moon nails.
|
|||
|
160
|
|||
|
161 When he remembers I am there
|
|||
|
162 he puts his long hands on my hips
|
|||
|
163 and slips a smile to me.
|
|||
|
164 I back into the water,
|
|||
|
165 wash myself of him,
|
|||
|
166 slide down the side
|
|||
|
167 of the shower to the floor.
|
|||
|
168 If I could continue down the drain
|
|||
|
169 I would,
|
|||
|
170 but I sit and watch his kneew instead
|
|||
|
171 until he crouches in the stall,
|
|||
|
172 a too-tall bird,
|
|||
|
173 the nest too small
|
|||
|
174 and makes his hands a hat
|
|||
|
175 to keep the hot rain out.
|
|||
|
176
|
|||
|
177 He wants to know
|
|||
|
178 Am I ready to go?
|
|||
|
179 I tell him
|
|||
|
180 In a minute.
|
|||
|
181 and he watches as I lick my lips,
|
|||
|
182 tasting copper pipes.
|
|||
|
183
|
|||
|
184 Sometimes in the dark
|
|||
|
185 he's kiss my cheek
|
|||
|
186 to test for tears.
|
|||
|
187
|
|||
|
188 The salt betrays.
|
|||
|
189
|
|||
|
190 If he kissed me now
|
|||
|
191 he'd only taste tap water.

|

248 I have had reason to create a Legion of my own. Recently something, or
|
|||
|
249 someONE has taken away the attention I have been paying to myself, and I
|
|||
|
250 have been allowing my responsibilities to slacken in the entry of these

263 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Young Master West
|
|||
|
264 (This may not flow too well, I don't have the second half of the last
|
|||
|
265 entry available to refer to any longer.)
|
|||
|
266 "What do you mean that we BOTH have a lesson to learn?"
|
|||
|
267 All of a sudden a blank look came over the pipers face as he began tspeak.
|
|||
|
268 "You, in your own way, must learn to ask for what you want. You must come
|
|||
|
269 to know how and when to ask for it. From our short meeting I have noticed that
|
|||
|
270 you are on your way. You know what you want, but must learn to voice your
|
|||
|
271 desires." He paused before continuing. "I... I used to believe that I once
|
|||
|
272 knew this. Now I know where I stand, and know the path I must take to remedy my
|
|||
|
273 shortcoming. I must travel this path soon."
|
|||
|
274 The piper's head then bobbed and he wiped his face as if waking from a
|
|||
|
275 short sleep, the life returning to his eyes.
|
|||
|
276 "I hope that these few words are not too vague for you. They are the ones
|
|||
|
277 that come to mind, and they have expressed what I had meant to say the way I
|
|||
|
278 wanted to say it."
|
|||
|
279 The young Master West could tell that the piper had wanted to say more but
|
|||
|
280 was restraining himself so as not to cause any further confusion.
|
|||
|
281 "No sir," he said. "Your words are quite clear. My friend Georgina told me
|
|||
|
282 that once. I didn't know what she meant then, I do now." The boy shifted in his
|
|||
|
283 chair as a new light began to shine over the table at which they sat.
|
|||
|
284 "My father once told me that Knowledge is the presence of information, and
|
|||
|
285 that Wisdom is the ability that uses that knowledge. What he has said now makes
|
|||
|
286 sence to me...
|
|||
|
287 "Your father should be proud of you." complimented the piper.
|
|||
|
288 "I wish he were. I don't even know where he is today..." thought the young
|
|||
|
289 Master West.
|
|||
|
290 Another hour passed as more bits of knowledge became wisdom. As time went
|
|||
|
291 on, the piper had procurred for the boy a cot that he could use for the night.
|
|||
|
292 Having felt a slight sence of accomplishment, the piper then left the Inn.
|
|||
|
293 He left it behind so that he may go toward the path destined for him.
|
|||
|
294 To his reunion...
|
|||
|
295 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|||
|
296 #I wish he were. I don't even know where he is today...#
|
|||
|
297 My obligation is now complete. Now you may correct the errors I have made.

|
298 Sorry I've wasted your time...

318 Certainly a mouth watering morsel of diabolic men hell-bent on destruction
|

|
319 of alien life as we know it. Moral issues. Yes, that is what I said. Where
|
|||
|
320 are the reasons for action found? Is indisciminate killing necessary to
|
|||
|
321 make a point, and influence neighbors? The reasons escape me. There appears
|
|||
|
322 to be no driving force behind it all save the thrill of the hunt, and the
|
|||
|
323 mad desire for power and control. Are we to unravel some deadly conspiracy,
|
|||
|
324 or are the underlying motivations alwasy to remain a mystery? International
|
|||
|
325 intrigue, deadly vengeance, havoc, death. All part of the game I suppose,
|
|||
|
326 but why? Why? Answer not these questions, and be forever chained to a life
|
|||
|
327 of pale existance and polite abstainance.

336 An interesting surprise has awaited my return. Two words that can bring so much

|
|||
|
340 There had been a scare in the peanutbutter corner of the Market, but nothing
|
|||
|
341 that would shake its foundation. The pace of the day continued at a furious
|
|||
|
342 streak. Jack was performing more steadily in the pit than Tina first hoped.
|
|||
|
343 The constant variation of the price on the indicator lead Jack to and from
|
|||
|
344 his purchases, but the price still moved in a slow motion downwards. Soon the
|
|||
|
345 price would stabalize due to the nature of being all in a days trading, and
|
|||
|
346 the closing price would be a boost to the current slump.
|
|||
|
347 "These numbers! All theese numbers! I swear I'll have nightmares for a
|
|||
|
348 week, I know it!" This thought recurred within Jacks mind even though he kept
|
|||
|
349 his mouth shut, his eyes open, and the markers coming in.
|
|||
|
350 "I don't understand how he can take all of this in stride," thought Tina
|
|||
|
351 in concern for Jack. "He doesn't even show a sign of struggle." Although not
|
|||
|
352 close to him, she began to feel a deeper respect for him, for his stamina.
|
|||
|
353 Meanwhile, as things continued to move "smoothly" on the floor, the
|
|||
|
354 instigator of what caused Tina's outbreak of fear earlier slithered across
|
|||
|
355 the room and out the door to the closest phone he could find that didn't
|
|||
|
356 require he feed it one of his precious coins.
|
|||
|
357 "Yea. Hello? Get me somebody from Beatrice... Tell 'em it's Mitchell
|
|||
|
358 calling. Yea, Gary Mitchell. I'll wait." He was almost too crafty.
|
|||
|
359 For Jack and Tina the day seemed to continue at its painfully slow
|
|||
|
360 pace, but eventually it came time for all markers to be registered and all
|
|||
|
361 trades to conclude. A light dinner and a good nights sleep would do them both
|
|||
|
362 good. But before things could come to a stop, Jack and Tina would first have
|
|||
|
363 to establish contact with Marci and Tony to confirm the second half of the
|
|||
|
364 operation would procede as scheduled.
|
|||
|
365 "O.K. Tony, You still there?" came the voice over the phone.
|
|||
|
366 "Yes, I'm still here. Where'd you think I'd go? The Moon?" answered Tony.
|
|||
|
367 "Don't be an ass now Tony, I was just calling to let you in on the days
|
|||
|
368 events. The price fluctuated as we hadn't expected, but we wound up with
|
|||
|
369 over five thousand more shares than we figured on." reported Tina.
|
|||
|
370 "Alright, I'm sorry. We're supposed to leave now then, I guess. If we
|
|||
|
371 get out of here if five minutes, we should get to the Plant in twenty minutes,
|
|||
|
372 and should be back in about three hours. Does that sound right?"
|
|||
|
373 "That's how it worked out before. And when you get back to the condo?
|
|||
|
374 Don't bother telling me how it went unless you botch it. I'm too tired to
|
|||
|
375 listen to details in my sleep. And Jack should be gone from this world by the
|
|||
|
376 time we make it back, it was hell in there today." The fatigue was heard in
|
|||
|
377 Tina's voice, Tony didn't persue it any farther.
|
|||
|
378 For Jack, Tina, and Gary the day was at an end. For Marci, Tony, and
|
|||
|
379 "Jimmy" the night was just beginning. If the plans would click, then "Jimmy"
|
|||
|
380 and the competition would both disappear in the night. It had to work.
|
|||
|
381 It just had to...

|
|||
|
436
|
|||
|
437 I slid the book back into the slots prepared for it so long ago. In a
|
|||
|
438 wide canvas binder, with a leather wrap to close it. The satchel looked
|
|||
|
439 nearly as old as the leafed books it carried. And as well worn with time
|
|||
|
440 and the duties of knowledge and wisdom.
|
|||
|
441 Carefully minding the covers of the books, it slid finally into place
|
|||
|
442 wityh the other books. At least twelve of them, and all were marked with a
|
|||
|
443 saying that sounded similar in at least some sordid manner.
|
|||
|
444 I sighed slowly as it fitted and releived myself with another tip of the
|
|||
|
445 large tankart provided me by my rather odd guest. I almost answered the
|
|||
|
446 question posefd to me by him, and then I considered all the merits of the
|
|||
|
447 thing that had not presented themselves to me originally.
|
|||
|
448
|
|||
|
449 "I am not sure why, it must be some trait learned early on. I care for
|
|||
|
450 the books as if they as important as I am because they are what I am. I am
|
|||
|
451 nothing if it is not what those books provide me with." Enunciatedthe Sage,
|
|||
|
452 trying to carefully place his words so that his companion would understand.
|
|||
|
453 And not be dreadfully confused by them, as sometimes he managed to do.
|
|||
|
454 The odd companion who benefacted the drinks asked again why the Sage did
|
|||
|
455 so much in order to be tied to those books? And why oh why, did he withstand
|
|||
|
456 so very much in the way of insult for not saying what he thought often?
|
|||
|
457 "I have seen you," Said the companion, turning in his cloak of silvered
|
|||
|
458 chain, and continued "you sit and listen, then write something in one of your
|
|||
|
459 notebooks. Why do you sit and listen and never say anything?"
|
|||
|
460
|
|||
|
461 Again the Sage tried as hard as he possibly could to make sense out of what
|
|||
|
462 he was going to say; for it would be difficult to explain. "Often it serves
|
|||
|
463 my purpose to let the normal chain of conversation go uninterupted by my points
|
|||
|
464 or my personal opinions, or even corrections. I may be able to reform the
|
|||
|
465 debate at hand, but perhaps there is no need to do this. Perhaps it would be
|
|||
|
466 quite unkind to upstage the debaters. I would rather not offend, if you will."
|
|||
|
467
|
|||
|
468 "But what is the debate if everyone is scared to enter into the thing? It
|
|||
|
469 lacks sense to say that you will not interfere in something, which cannot
|
|||
|
470 begin if you do not?!" Now the figure was more and more flustered. This odd
|
|||
|
471 companion did not like to not understand things that others considered quite
|
|||
|
472 obvious to anyone with brains.
|
|||
|
473 "It is not the interruption of debates that strikes up one, it is the first
|
|||
|
474 expression of disagreement that does it, and then a debate begins. Once one is
|
|||
|
475 started, the only reason for me to interrupt is if I have a question. Is this
|
|||
|
476 not as it ought to be, for all debates?" The Sage looked off into the windows
|
|||
|
477 reflecting white bleary clouds. The Sage pondered his own words, as he so
|
|||
|
478 often did.
|
|||
|
479
|
|||
|
480 "It is almost not fair to ask me this," Said the odd one sitting over to
|
|||
|
481 another seat at this table, " it is as if you are laying blame for all the loud
|
|||
|
482 and angry debates on me. I assure you, I am not one of those that calls a
|
|||
|
483 raging argument a debate. In deferrence to facts that indicates the precense
|
|||
|
484 of anger and blind stupidity. I am not to blame for all this."
|
|||
|
485 The Sage sorreled for a moment then apologized for making this impression
|
|||
|
486 on his kind companion. "I am sorry to make it seem thus, what I mean to end up
|
|||
|
487 saying is that all debates ought to be questiuons and answers, which in turn
|
|||
|
488 create other questions that ought to be answered. It is all a marvelous and
|
|||
|
489 quaint concept, being lost in trhe fashion of the times." The Sage sagged his
|
|||
|
490 head as to make the drinking easier. Not that water flavored by leaves that
|
|||
|
491 were collected from outside the Inn was going to douse any sorrows.
|
|||
|
492 And yet, the objective idea that it was going to, seemed to calm everyone
|
|||
|
493 from what had just transpired. A debate of neat proportions, eh?

497 Hello kathyd, it's great to see that you live and are well. Now I will be able
|

|
498 to stop fending off this nagging desire to bed myself and be fresh for the

|
499 morrow. If I had not saw your words I would have not been able to enter that world of slumber peacefully but now it looks
|
|||
|
500 like the need of tablet is no more. By the by, someone has been defaming your
|
|||
|
501 beautiful postscripts by stating many falsehoods about the eating of commoners
|
|||
|
502 food, such as OREOs et al. Now I know this could not have been true, for no
|
|||

503 hands that touched such vile elements could have possibly typed the words I have

504 seen with the name kathyd. Caviar, imported breadfruits, oriental beef yes, oreo no!!!!

578 I am very sorry to be butting in like this, as I know you are all people with fine imaginations and well developed
|
|||
|
579 characters, but it occurs to me that it might be better if we all filed up one drive before we began to use an-
|
|||
|
580 other. I call up at hideous hours of the night and get print-outs of the good stuff, and having stuff added onto
|
|||
|
581 two different drives often screws me up as to what I have and what I don't have. I am only making this comment
|
|||
|
582 in behalf of what i perceive to be Order.
|
|||
|
583 And another thing, to but into another subject in which I don't belong, the Explosion-Combustion Debate, I think
|
|||
|
584 I just might have the answer. An explosion, the way we think of it, is an instantaneous combustion. In an engine,
|
|||
|
585 the whole blob of gas-air mixture DOES NOT explode by that definition! It does take time for the combustion to
|
|||
|
586 travel from the spark plug end of the chamber to the other end, but that time is so short it is almost negli-
|
|||
|
587 gable. And so, technically, the Slow-Burners are right! But practically, the Exploders are right, too!
|
|||
|
588 My only point in writing this essay is to possibly clear up a point, add some fuel to the fire, get insulted, or
|
|||
|
589 whatever. I hope my comments on this subject are taken in the manner in which I meant for them to be taken.
