"To my friends in the scene, and those I don't even know" Well, I know that the header looks cheesy, but what the fuck. Anyway. I am sure that all of you have read all the little text files floating around from Black SpyriT, Sought After, The Eel, and others. Well, here is one to add to the collection. I, "The Renegade Chemist" resign from the scene NOW. I have had a real blast in the 4 or 5 years that I have been messing around with computers and modems. And I have learned a lot, and met a lot of great people. But I think that it is high time to "hang it up" for reality. I know it may sound really lame, but I am scared. I am not even as big a figure as TNSHB or TGR or SI or BS, but I am really truly afraid of getting caught in this game. Sure, I have enjoyed it, starting from a lamer with the handle "Fletch Lives", moving up towards a higher status in ModemLand. A lot of people have helped me / hurt me on my way up, but all in all I appreciate all of the criticisms, constructive and destructive. Anyhow, I am cutting this short and to the point to save your sanity ( after reading that 20k one from Sought After, hehe) ). Black Light - Hey man, we had fun, didn't we? Let's hang out sometime ( like we wouldn't, hehe ). Chairman - Sorry that things are not going to work out with APeX. I really would like to help, but things are getting too hot for me. I suggest that you go back to the way Suburbia was, and not worry about it either. I am sure I will see you soon. Zodact - Funny how we met again after all those years ( well, one or two anyway ). I wish that it could have been on better circimstances for Razor at the time, but hey, life's a bitch ( and the scene even moreso ). I know that we will still talk alot and maybe I will even see you in college. Maybe you can come down here for Spring Break, who knows. Anyway, Razor 1911 ( at least the cracking part! ) was fun while it lasted. Hopefully we can continue the tradition in the real world. Black SpyriT - Well man.. its been great working with you in the past weeks, and hopefully we can continue in the future. Need I say more? Tarl Cabot - I feel like I owe you a lot, man. Out of nowhere you showed up to help us out w/a courier system, and set it up in record time. I appreciate all the hard work you put in to make it work, and if you ever need a favor, just ask. The task you are taking on yourself of organizing ( hmm.. ) right now is a great one, but not impossible. I wish you luck, but one thing - be careful, my friend. It's really not worth it. Talk to you soon. Force Ten - Well, SDA has been good to me, and I appreciate all of the work that you and the top members have put into it. Also, TCSNet is and will always be the best pirate network ( in my eyes... ). Good luck with Revelation. Also, if you see an ANSi done by me that says "SDA" on it every now and then, well, I don't want to get bored. The Master - Well dude. What to say. You were there in CWF from the beginning, and I appreciate that. You're a good guy, and I hope that you and Rick can get it together with Revelation and TCSNet. Sorry being a Razor 1911 courier did not work out for you, but I think that you took a bet- ter path anyway. Good luck. Prizm - Yeah, Yeah. Even you. I know that we had a falling out not that far back, and I am sincerely sorry for anything that I said or did to piss you off. I know that some of the things I said were totally unnecessary and uncool, but you still have a short fuse. Take it easy, man. Sicko ( NOT of The BoG! ) - Well man. I know that you probab- ly think that I dicked you over, and that's fine. I really did not intend to, but that is the way that it worked out in the end. The pirate world is a brutal place, no? Anyhow, wish you luck with your wife and hope there will be lots of little Sickos running around real soon. Intrepid - Bastard with Rush tickets. Oh well. Keep up your programming, you really have talent. Don't forget that. Chat w/ya sometime soon. LL Cool J - Hey dude. You have been a good friend for months now, and I appreciate you letting me leech megs and megs 'o shit off of ABC to satisfy my wares-hunger ( especially at 2400 baud for a while! hehe ). I am sure I will still talk to you. Take it easy. X-Terminator - Hey, didn't talk to you very much, but you seemed a cool guy. Don't get busted doing anything dumb, and get plenty of pussy. Later man. CrackSmith - Well Drew. I only talked to you a few times, and me and Freddy and you all chowed down at that Chinese place. Hey, pretty good food. We should go again sometime. While I know that we did not really get along real well in the scene, it doesn't have to be that way outside of it. Cool Hand - We had a lot of our differences out on the boards, and I relished all of the exchanges that took place. It was a lot of fun, but that's all it was, so don't take any of that crap personally. Later man, and remember you have a family to worry about. The Unknown - Traitor ( hehe ). Good luck as the best INC courier around. But don't do it after you get a license and a car. Women are better. Merlin - You and I were once good friends, and recently I tried to open my mind and once again become your friend. However, it seems my first judgement was right - you are nothing but a spoiled and immature brat, and will never be any more until someone slaps you in the face and wakes you up. Stiletto - Hey man, sorry that your status as a Razor courier didn't last too long. But I am sure that I will have a chance to talk to you about that sometime. Later, man. Mad Hatter ( of iCE-TNO ) - Heh. Thanks for that informative email the other day. Have a good one, man. Old CWF crew - Well guys. Sorry to have let you down back then, and best of luck in the future. Hyperion - Didn't talk to you a whole lot, but from when I did, you seemed like a great guy. I am sorry about what happened, and I sincerely hope that you are better off in the future. Good luck. The Elemental - We have had our differences in the past, but Cypher really is great software. Good luck. The Weeze - Hehe. Kinda funny that this should happen right after I drop you my voice number and such so that we could work together on some pics. Anyway, keep up the good work and take it easy man. If you are still interested, gimme a ring. Freddy Krueger - Well Sean, we had our good times and our bad times, and I'm sorry I didn't grab that drive from you. Per- haps some other unknowing soul will be taken for it :). Spread - Met ya on Revelation, and you run a great board. You will probably still find me leeching on there every now and then. Take it easy, man. All the old Razor team, friends in the scene that I may have forgotten, and hell with it even people I don't know - Take it easy dudes, and remember that the scene is a big game. To quote Zodact, "The scene is a game, but when the game gets to the point that you either win on a release or get thrown in jail, it gets too risky." Also remember that these computers were not originally designed for what we use them for a lot of the time - learn something useful, make this expensive hardware worth the money you shelled out for it. Goodbye, all! The Renegade Chemist [Razor 1911 Member] [SDA Artist]
