Sick, sick, sick ! (And tired !) Suenet is a major international entity, with thousands of "citizens" worldwide. We are a force to be reckoned with... and I think it's bloody well time we stand up and be recognized. We are continually trampled by outside forces simply because we don't have "any enforcement body which *can* stop them." Enough is enough ! I hereby call out the Usenet Militia ! We need every able-bodied newsreader out there to step forward and enforce the will of the net ! We need hordes of hackers, phalanxes of phreakers; a corp of computer cunning unmatched by any of our enemies. We need weapons; everything from autodial modems to supercomputers. This Imminent Threat to the Net (tm) must be countered with force; our very independence is on the line ! We must penetrate the enemy's computer perimeter, infiltrate his chain of command, and destroy the foe ! To arms! To arms ! Fear! Fire! Fgrep! And remember; Aunti Sue needs *you*! p.s. I'm taking volunteers for the net.suicide squad. - - - - - - - - valuable coupon - - - - - - - clip and save - - - - - - - - Bill Thacker AT&T Network Systems - Columbus wbt@cbnews.att.com Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero
