[net.suicide] Coup d'Etat

bimmler (02/06/83)

There has been a coup.  This netnews group has been taken over.
While you slept, thousands of ruthless information soldiers
assaulted the network and captured the previous, now powerless and
forgotten, autocrats.  I am now in power.  This newsgroup is strong,
for I am in control and I am strong.  No more will this newsgroup
be tainted by whining sops seeking a brief flicker of fame by feigning
wisdom of sacred rituals.  The submitters of such subversive
articles shall be dealt with justly and efficiently.

Of course, as after any takeover, there must be adjustments made.
The following puppets of the old regime are representative of
those who will not be contributing to the newsgroup henceforth:

hplabsb!soreff	  mprvaxa!shinbro   sytek!blk	      zinfandel!nyles

I do not enjoy violence, but I have ways of maintaining control.

net.suicide is dead! Long live net.suicide!
