"Very, Very Offended"

To whom it may concern, not many of you because I am perfectly aware
|
||
how few of you really care about me, indeed, how many of you talk about me
|
||
behind my back and plot to take my life constantly, and that includes the
|
||
FBI agents who inserted a radio in my brain when I wasn't looking, but to
|
||
WHOM it may concern...
|
||
I'm rather ticked off.
|
||
I mean, I rush to BLaH WHQ, all ready and eager to get my latest
|
||
issue of BLaH and soak up some mystic wisdom from our leader, and what do
|
||
I get? A lengthy piece attacking the most sacred convention in bbsing,
|
||
the obnoxious tfile group. I am referring to issue #20, for those of you
|
||
who have your indexes handy.
|
||
This is the file where Guido, a man who I once saw as being up there
|
||
with Bob Dobbs and, yes, even Elvis, DARES to lash out at this honoured
|
||
tradition. Well, Mr. Sanchez, just a few words from an individual who
|
||
APPRECIATES what tfile groups do for our electronic community.
|
||
|
||
1: How can you be so cynical? Tfile groups that insist on repeated,
|
||
pointless referances to Neuromancer, cyberpunks and cyberspace are only
|
||
trying to prove one thing-- that most of them have really read an entire
|
||
book. Literary ambitions are important for tfile writers-- witness the
|
||
sad fate of the "Little Engine that was K00L" group.
|
||
|
||
2: VERY few tfile groups release things that are not theirs. Plagarism
|
||
is nearly non-existant in the bbs community, as everyone knows. The sad
|
||
truth of the matter is that all of those cyberpunk-novel quotes, misspelled
|
||
compilations of heavy metal and "Weird Al" lyrics, and the like, were all
|
||
originally written by the tfile groups and STOLEN! Strewth! William Gibson
|
||
and Pink Floyd have been doing it for years. What looks like plagarism to
|
||
the untrained eye is actually a clever attempt to reclaim the copyright.
|
||
|
||
3: The index-every-eight-issue concept is designed for the aid of tfile
|
||
collectors, who will go to unbelievable ends to keep their precious files
|
||
in order. Personally, I laminate mine and keep every file in a dust-free
|
||
mylar bag with an acid-proof cardboard backing.
|
||
|
||
4: Lie about their true headquarters? Shame on you! I don't see what's
|
||
so hard to believe about a bunch of European twelve-year-olds uploading
|
||
5k lyric transcriptions to tiny boards in Buttfuck, Ohio, do you?
|
||
|
||
5: Ragging on other tfile groups for no reason is very unprofessional.
|
||
Only snotnose punks like those assholes at MaDCaP do that.
|
||
|
||
6: Manipulating people just to get interviewed by Phrack is a waste of
|
||
energy. Manipulate Phrack to get interviewed by Phrack, manipulate people
|
||
to get MONEY.
|
||
|
||
7: There's only so much mileage you can get out of "fuck" and "shit". I
|
||
suggest using "pudlicking maggot scum" for emphasis in those sticky literary
|
||
corners.
|
||
|
||
But most of all, I am shocked by the contention that most tfile
|
||
writers just do so in order to put another nifty acronym at the end of
|
||
their names-- this is shameless cynicism at its height, no more and no
|
||
less. Until next we speak, I remain,
|
||
Constantine.
