the issue, so don't blame him for the quality or content of the submissions.

Well well well how very nice. Issue 10 is now out. And with it,
|
|
school has started again at nearly every college and university across the
|
|
nation, with the exception of UHa, due to management stupidity or something
|
|
like that. So what does this mean? It means that there are now thousands
|
|
of people on campuses, with bitnet access. And guess what? MANY OF THESE
|
|
PEOPLE AREN'T M00SES. You may be aghast; I know I am. It is our clear
|
|
duty to help these people by inviting them into our organization, unless,
|
|
of course, you don't want to. And so begins THE ANNUAL FALL M00SE ILLUMINATI
|
|
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. Yes! Convince your friends to be m00ses! After all,
|
|
if we're going to confuse the population, there's no better way than to
|
|
get the population to help.
|
|
On another note, I had an idea to fill up some space in this
|
|
newsletter. Let me know what you think. Each issue, starting at the top
|
|
of the general list and working our way down, we'll include a *short* ID-file
|
|
type thing in the issue from one m00se. This will help us get to know those
|
|
m00ses we've never come into personal contact with, and perhaps make the
|
|
FBI's job a little easier if they're looking in. Hi guys! So, good idea,
|
|
or horrid?
|
|
Later,

we don't get multiple volunteers. It will make Kami's job that much easier

What I need is a list of one person at each node who is willing to be a
|
|
distributor, both for within his/her/its node as well as forwarding copies
|
|
to other nodes, where needed. In the case of single person nodes, I need to
|
|
know if that one person is willing/able to handle distributing to other nodes.
|
|
The network model I am planning on creating will run along the same lines as
|
|
how the Relay network runs, when it does. Basically, each distributor will
|
|
send copies to all local users, any local nodes, and to the next major node
|
|
in the network. It's not firm yet, as I haven't looked at the structure of
|
|
where we are all located from this angle.
|
|
|

this would be so nice if we had a member m00se at cunyvm....

Yes folks, big news indeed. In my never-ending search for that illusive

is, I can be reached at Karen and John's account: B45J@CRNLVAX5. The move

will be taking place this Thursday, so after Wednesday afternoon, send any mail
|

to seeing all you guys and getting the chance to spend time with you, and to all
|
|
my friends here in the area, don't forget about me, because I will be in the

Propaganda has become almost an art form in recent years. While looking
|
|
through a delightful book about people dressed in armor hacking eachother
|
|
to pieces, I came across a beautiful chunk of it preceding a war. It comes
|
|
in two parts:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Part I
|
|
|
|
A. We are so numerous that we are starving.
|
|
|
|
B. Therefore we must encourage still larger families so as to become yet
|
|
more numerous and starving.
|
|
|
|
C. When we are so numerous and starving as all that, obviously we shall
|
|
have a right to take other people's stores of seed. Besides, we shall by
|
|
then have a numerous and starving army.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
After part one has sunk in, and been employed, and the birth rate has been
|
|
trebled, whether anyone is actually starving or not, part two is begun:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Part II
|
|
|
|
A. We are more numerous than they are, therefore we have a right to their
|
|
mash (food).
|
|
|
|
B. They are more numerous than we are, therefore they are wickedly trying
|
|
to steal our mash.
|
|
|
|
C. We are a mighty race and have a natural right to subjugate their puny
|
|
one.
|
|
|
|
D. They are a mighty race and are unnaturally trying to subjugate our
|
|
inoffensive one.
|
|
|
|
E. We must attack them in self defense.
|
|
|
|
F. They are attacking us by defending themselves.
|
|
|
|
G. If we do not attack them today, they will attack us tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
H. In any case, we are not attacking them at all. We are offering them
|
|
incalculable benefits.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Kinda funny how it never sounds quite so ridiculous in real life.

*************** AND, OF COURSE, THE UBIQUITOUS M00SE LIST UPDATE **************
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Please add:
|
|
|
|
Stony Brook thr0ng FNORD @ SBCCVM Fnord
|
|
|
|
Washington State U. thr0ng 90289872 @ WSUVM1 Cthulhu
|
|
|
|
|
|
And make the following changes:
|
|
|
|
Wolverine's new address is B45J @ CORNELLA, not CRNLVAX5. He is still part
|
|
of the Lansing thr0ng, however.
|
|
|
|
Which brings us to the other change.....Lansing is no longer the location
|
|
of a chapter, but a thr0ng.
