Excepting those he may have written himself, the enclosed items do not in any way represent the Editor's opinions. In fact, let's be real safe, and say that as far as this newsletter is concerned, he has no opinions at all. Okay? Good. ================================================================================ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **************************** EDITORIALS AND LETTERS **************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, here we are with Issue #12! Things are progressing nicely in the M00se Illuminati. We continue to expand, some goals are being set, interesting activities are being carried out. One thing you may be interested in is the description of CHAOS Engineering in M00se.Info. I intend to update the file a bit myself, and then anybody who wants the new version can ask me for it. If enough people want it, I'll just send it out along the distribution net. Which brings us to the one problem we have. Virtually nobody is answering the question about distributors. Once again, we need one person at each node to distribute for that node, and we need to know if that person is also willing to forward a copy to the next major server node in line. We want answers from those who are alone at a node; even if you won't be distributing to others at your own node, are you willing to send a copy along to the next node in line? PLEASE get back to me on this ASAP, Kamikaze can't design a new MDNET without this information. Since the current one has holes in it, and some people may not be getting their issues, we want to take care of this as soon as possible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* EVENTS AND NEWS ******************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I said above, the M00se Illuminati keeps growing. And now the day is in sight when we shall reach 100 network chapters. I hereby suggest that when we do, we have a Mega-Thr0ng-a-Thong at the University of Hartford, here in CT. I will begin looking into hotels and campgrounds in the area, to get ideas of prices in the area. The Science Fiction Society here at UHa will reserve a good-sized room for a day. And when we reach 100 chapters, we'll start working on an actual date. Whaddaya all think? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************** FICTION AND POETRY ******************************* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- << Here we have Wall's first attempt at gospel (I think he said) songwriting. It's started some activity on the Stony Brook Underground. >> GOOD ENOUGH FOR JESUS --------------------- Jesus is my guidance he tells me what is true he tells me what to think he tells me what to do he tells me what i'm hearing he tells me what i see and if it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me. Jesus healed the faithful back in the Good Old Days. He didn't have to do surgery he didn't need X-rays and he didn't need to medicine to cure their infirmity and if faith-healing's good enough for Jesus it's good enough for me. Those Evil Pawns of Satan are publishing books of sin books like 'Stuart Little' and 'Huckelberry Finn' and so what if this is America so what if the press is free if censorship's good enough for Jesus it's good enough for me. That heretic Charles Darwin said Creation was just a fable he said we evolved from monkeys not from Adam, Eve, nor Abel and so what if Galton proved it, quite irrefutably if Creationism's good enough for Jesus it's good enough for me. A man called Galileo said the Earth goes 'round the Sun and the Earth is just a planet and not the only one and so what if Kepler proved it in the Seventeenth century if Geocentrism's good enough for Jesus it's good enough for me. Yes Jesus is our savior he showed us the way and now it's our duty to save you so you'd better do what we say and if you don't want to go along with it we have ways of forcing you to cause if it's good enough for Jesus it's good enough for you. wall - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - << The CHAOS Engineer's Superm00se story will continue with chapter two next issue. At this time, he plans to make it a bi-weekly feature. >> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************** MISCELLANEOUS NONSENSE ***************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- << One of the new chapters, Larry Nathanson, had an interesting idea some of you may wish to try out. >> Oh, by the way, The treasurer of this chapter, collected dues from the Poobah, and Bull Moose, (who promptly wrote him checks) and convinced the ATM to triple his account. He thanks you dearly, and will refer the bank manager to you, if problems arise. :-) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - << This note came from the CHAOS Engineer, giving a little bit of hope that Sabre is still alive... >> Today I did sight the rare and Elusive m00se whom is called Sabre. This was indeed a suprise, as he has been reputed to have been kidnapped by the brotherhood of evil relayers. This in fact is not true, as the straight p00p from the m00se's mouth did indicate otherwise. He has in fact been enslaved by the Boston Univeristy Bookstore. further sightings will be reported.
