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.

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

52 to tell the truth i wish you could edit also the last poem i entered was

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
|
||
251 diverse catagories. I will try to steal away some precious time from her

252 in order that I may be kept "up to date" here.

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 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

|
||
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...

435 SageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSage
|
||
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!!!!

519 Uh, it seems kinda dark. Like, I havn't been near a terminal for so long.

520 the keys seem to be as old friends, but they can not be. Strange that
|

521 being away from a terminal for so long can cause total brain decay. And
|

522 on the note of brain decay.....
|

523 RISK!!!! That sorred game, I tell you, I met some old friends on a bus, I was
|
||
524 going home, nice and peacefull, when, when... it is simply too horrible to
|
||
525 contemplate. None the less I found myself as the black player in that filthy
|

526 game. It is as a drug, taking control of your mind and making you stay up
|
||
527 until(quick look at watch) 6:38 A.M. when you know that people are expecting

528 you to be places in 20 min. V.O.L. was served, pizza consumed, and other things.

529 I am going to the hospital now, they have decided that my little joke of killing

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.
