   Dear Reader :                                                             
                                                                             
       This is the ninth issue of Reality Check Network.  By this time, we   
   feel that we are well established and are willing to better yield to      
   the readers' demands.  Improvements are constantly being made to RCN as   
   a result of reader input.  If you would like to participate in the        
   further enhancement of RCN, or if you would like to subscribe to our      
   mailing list, please send E-Mail to an385786@anon.penet.fi.               
                                                                             
       NEW, and IMPROVED (I guess), RCN now has an ASCII version for all of  
   you, that for some reason just can't handle our totally k-rad coded one.  
   It's called RCN-09.TXT and is located within the main ZIP.  Enjoy it!     
                                                                             
       RCN issues have now been made available to a wider audience thanks    
   to our new WebSite courtesy of RATM.  Please  feel free to browse around

   WebSite will satisfy our readers and is a welcome addition.

    Throughout these past 8 issues, Reality Check Network has received       
    a great amount of user response.  The RCN staff has decided to publish   
    these comments, whether supportive or destructive.  We would like to     
    encourage our readers to continue to voice their opinions, and we would  
    like to thank all the readers that have done so up until now.            
                                                                             
 
                                                                             
    Dear RCN,                                                                
                                                                             
            This is concerning the FBI Interview.  I swear, you fools        
    probably just saved my ass.  I am running an 8 node board, the board is  
    invite only, and I often let people on straight out of IRC.  Maybe I     
    was just stupid, but I have never asked anybody if he's FBI or not, and  
    even after I let them on the board, there is no disclaimer.  If I had    
    kept that up, I don't doubt that sooner or later I'd be sitting behind   
    bars.  That interview was very informative, and I'm glad you did it.     
    Thanks a million!                                                        
                                                                             
    Dear Reader,                                                             
                                                                             
            You're exactly the reason why we did that interview.  The scene  
    has been around so long that it seems as if we've become overly calm.    
    We have to remember that what we're doing is, after all, grossly         
    illegal.  We are lucky that it's not very hard to catch us, but if we    
    become too calm, the FBI WILL catch up with us.                          
                                                                             
 
                                                                             
    Dear RCN,                                                                
                                                                             
            Do your balls hang low?  Do they waddle to the ground?  Can you  
    tie them in a knot?  Can you tie them in a bow?  Can you throw them      
    over your shoulder like a continental soldier, do your balls hang low??

     Reporter : Rebel Chicken             Interviewee : Blackened            
     Subject  : Domination in Couriering  Affiliation : DiC President        
                                                                             
 


 
                                                                             
    Q  : DiC lasted about a week, what happened?                             
                                                                             
    A  : Well, actually about 2 weeks ago we reached kind of a stop, no one  
         was doing anything and there was a lot of bickering but we were     
         still couriering.  Then one night I went to bed and during the      
         night I learned the next day that the group broke up, I was told    
         that griffon did it.  So I was angry for a while but now I realize  
         I should have just kept it going then because it was a good group   
         with good presence, it's harder now that we're starting over, but   
         I'm determined to do well this time.                                
                                                                             
    Q  : How will you approach DiC differently his time?                     
                                                                             
    A  : I'm focusing on carefully hand picking the people I had in the      
         group.  I'm picking on loyalty, skill, and dedication to trading    
         and artwork.  The group is classified as warez and art oriented. I  
         am even considering putting out an art pack each month.  We have    
         quite a few people already for art and a few other have potential.  
         One even did a picture for Razor!                                   
                                                                             
    Q  : So if a person has experience in a group such as Razor, or other    
         big groups, they will have a higher chance of getting in the new    
         DiC?  How will you better hand pick them?  How will you determine   
         loyalty?  What measures will you use?                               
                                                                             
    A  : I will use trial periods to see how they perform.  Yes, if someone  
         has done artwork or couriering for Razor, they have got to be       
         pretty good, and I'll probably give them a little more leeway than  
         others that want to join.  I'm not accepting any newbies, I don't   
         have time to babysit and there will be no put downs in the group.   
         If someone isn't performing they will be told in private by me to   
         up their standards or resign.                                       
                                                                             
    Q  : What is your opinion on taggings?  For all new groups, it must be   
         very hard to find things to tag.  Will DiC turn to strip tagging    
         or double tagging?                                                  
                                                                             
    A  : I will not double tag!  I hate double tagging.                      
                                                                             
    Q  : Will DiC courier files NOT tagged by DiC?                           
                                                                             
    A  : I hope we become official couriers for PSH or some other group so   
         we can tag their files.  If we get files that have tags from other  
         courier groups, we'll probably just add our nfo file and may be a   
         small loader, it seems only fair that way.                          
                                                                             
    Q  : If a person from MALiCE joins DiC, will they have to leave MALiCE?  
         Most major courier groups have rules stating that their members     
         can only be in one courier group.                                   
                                                                             
    A  : That's a tough decision.  It will depend on how well it effected    
         their performance.  I would have to ask them to choose.             
                                                                             
    Q  : How do you compare DiC with the established courier groups such as  
         RiSC, MALiCE, fATE, and MC?                                         
                                                                             
    A  : In order to make Domination In Couriering prominent, we will first  
         have to compare ourselves with smaller groups like Release on       
         Rampage and C.O.P.S before we can hope to be compared to fATE.

     Subject  : tKLP Ousted?              Affiliation : RoR Vice President   
                                                                             
 


 
                                                                             
    Q  : Why was the PRESIDENT of RoR, tKLP, kicked out of RoR?              
                                                                             
    A  : He has always been on a mission to undermine other groups.  All he  
         is, is a title.  He doesn't give a shit for the group's future.  I  
         spend all my time undoing his messes with people all over the net.  
         I can't keep doing that.  RoR has great potential to be a major     
         release group but tKLP only does what he wants, like a spoiled      
         baby.                                                               
                                                                             
    Q  : How was tKLP kicked out of RoR?                                     
                                                                             
    A  : With a /kickban... :)                                               
                                                                             
    Q  : How long did it take you to conspire the plan of taking over RoR?   
         Or was it done spontaneously at a moment's notice?                  
                                                                             
    A  : We did not conspire, we made a business desision, that would be     
         best for the group.  I don't want this to seem like we are being a  
         bunch of young kids or vandels.  We just worked so hard at making   
         this group work that we needed to hold on to something for our      
         efforts.  It was apparent tKLP did not care for the group.  So we   
         decided to keep the group, and kick him.  There's something wrong   
         with TKLP, he thinks he's some sort of god because he ran a group.  
         All he wanted to do was release everything and anything he could    
         get his hands on.                                                   
                                                                             
    Q  : Who will run RoR now that tKLP is gone?                             
                                                                             
    A  : My concern is to show people that we can be a TRUE player in the    
         scene, not a group that stands alone and fucks with everybody.      
         I'm not like that and I respect the scene too much for that.        
                                                                             
    Q  : Was there a lot of trouble when tKLP was kicked out?  Were there    
         members that stuck with tKLP?                                       
                                                                             
    A  : He didn't get the name "The Crazy Little Punk" for no reason.  I    
         expect there to be some trouble, but this was done more as a        
         statement.  We don't even want the name RoR because it's banned     
         off of most boards anyways.  I tried to make RoR good while he      
         just went around screwing over the group.                           
                                                                             
    Q  : So instead of taking over RoR, you're splitting away from the       
         group, and starting a new one?                                      
                                                                             
    A  : We will most likely split off, why would I want the name RoR?  I    
         just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.                
                                                                             
    Q  : A taste of his own medicine?  Please comment on that.  Hello?

    Q  : What makes EXiLE different from any other release group? What will  
         keep you from becoming the next RoR?                                
                                                                             
    A  : Well unlike most releasing crews, we release both apps and games!   
         We have only been around a short time now but we have already       
         developed a solid foundation to begin releasing!                    
                                                                             
    Q  : What are your releases to date?                                     
                                                                             
    A  : We have currently released nothing but we are scheduled to release  
         tomorrow.  We will most likely be making 2 or 3 releases tomorrow   
         or the next day!                                                    
                                                                             
    Q  : How can you say that you have a strong foundation if you have yet   
         to release?                                                         
                                                                             
    A  : We currently have 3 BBSs allied with us.  Each of them are 4 nodes  
         or more.  2 of them are known very well.  We also have developed    
         a strong couriering section!                                        
                                                                             
    Q  : You are a release group, what about suppliers?                      
                                                                             
    A  : Well, currently we have 2 strong suppliers.  Myself and Major       
         Access.  One of my co-council members, Lucid, will soon be able     
         to supply for us as well.                                           
                                                                             
    Q  : What is going to set you apart from any of the other loser groups   
         that end up dying?                                                  
                                                                             
    A  : We have a strong council run by myself, Lucid, and Lax.  We also    
         make it a point to keep in touch with each other when not on IRC    
         via telephone.                                                      
                                                                             
    Q  : What are your prior affils?                                         
                                                                             
    A  : Well, I was affiliated with fATE in the past under another nick,    
         MaDDog, as a courier.                                               
                                                                             
    Q  : Were you ever affiliated with any release groups?                   
                                                                             
    A  : No, I was not, but I have many connections to supply EXiLE with!    
                                                                             
    Q  : What makes you think that you will know how to run a release        
         group?                                                              
                                                                             
    A  : Well my prior experience in the scene and the way that I have       
         watched and monitored other heads of groups, I feel I am            
         qualified!                                                          
                                                                             
    Q  : Why are you deciding to release both games and utils as opposed to  
         just one?                                                           
                                                                             
    A  : We have resources to both Apps and Games, so we decided that we     
         would release both apps and games until we establish ourselves as   
         either a games group or an apps group.                              
                                                                             
    Q  : In my opinion, there are too many groups in the scene right now.    
         Why did you not just join another group instead of starting yet     
         another?                                                            
                                                                             
    A  : Well, one of the main reasons we started a group was because of     
         the challenge involved and because we felt that we were capable of  
         making an excellent releasing group.                                
                                                                             
    Q  : What will you do to keep from having dupes and uncracked releases?  
                                                                             
    A  : We would never dupe.  To prevent this from happening we check all   
         release lists put out and we always ask around to be sure.  Also,   
         we would never make a release unless it was cracked.  That ruins    
         the point of releasing at all!                                      
                                                                             
    Q  : Are you on any big boards so you can dupe check if you lost a       
         release within a short time period?                                 
                                                                             
    A  : Both of my co's are on Akira and some other major boards.  The      
         only boards I am on are No-man's land and Maleviolence!             
                                                                             
    Q  : What will set EXiLE apart from the rest of the competition?         
                                                                             
    A  : Our strong leadership and our connections to the rest of the        
         scene.  We are also a very hard working group!

     Subject  : Need for Speed            Affiliation : NFS President        
                                                                             
 


 
                                                                             
    Q  : From the name of your group, NFS (Need for Speed), I assume it is   
         a courier group.  What areas does NFS specialize in?                
                                                                             
    A  : NFS is a release group, I got the name from a game.  I thought it   
         was cool.                                                           
                                                                             
    Q  : Does NFS specialize in releasing games or utilities?                
                                                                             
    A  : Right now, we are going to release anything, utils, apps, games,    
         cracks, SNES, and consoles too.                                     
                                                                             
    Q  : Would such diversity in releasing help the group's image? Since     
         you guys release anything?                                          
                                                                             
    A  : Yes, I heard from people that consoles are very big in Europe.  I   
         would also like to get our name out on everything.                  
                                                                             
    Q  : What are some of the best NFS releases?                             
                                                                             
    A  : Realms of Chaos and Iceman's Apprentice were awesome.  Iceman was   
         kind of lame, but Sweden liked it.  It didn't seem English, but it  
         was, and it helped get our name out there.                          
                                                                             
    Q  : Realms of Chaos was nuked off of all major boards because it was a  
         dupe.  What will make NFS different and better in the future?       
                                                                             
    A  : Well, we try to cater to everyone's needs, and we try to be nice.   
         Some lamers take advantage of that.  We are working hard on being   
         quality and quantity, but not assholish.  Bullet Wound, our senior  
         cracker, decided to turn into an asshole one day, he mass deoped    
         everyone, and asked me to hand over the sites.  I gave him nothing  
         and kicked him out of the group.  We tried to be nice, but he       
         KNEW we don't have a site up yet.                                   
                                                                             
    Q  : Was Bullet Wound a spy?                                             
                                                                             
    A  : I am not sure, he is in DTC and DMN though.  Philter's a really     
         lame, he likes to impersonate group leaders.  He came up to me as   
         Philter on his account philter@xmission.com and said to me,         
         "I'll impersonate you!"  He impersonated Anti Derivative, TKLP,     
         and even me.  He would give people DCC requests for the file        
         "nbc-t.zip".  I had auto-get on, so I got the files automatically.  
         My friend, Red Dog, tried the file, and to his horrible discovery,  
         his hard drive got formated.  We tried tracking Philter, and he     
         said, "You should try impersonating!  It's fun!"  He thinks I like  
         him, but I don't.                                                   
                                                                             
    Q  : What are your past experiences with running groups?                 
                                                                             
    A  : I never understood about groups before.  Now I do.  I figured out   
         that what I did before didn't really work.  MTV (Money is too       
         Valuable), was my first group, and then BMP (Bite Me Productions),  
         they were not too elite, but it helped NFS because I picked up      
         about 3 members from there.                                         
                                                                             
    Q  : What have you learned from your past groups?                        
                                                                             
    A  : It's hard being a leader, because you have to bust your ass off.    
                                                                             
                                                                             
 


 
                                                                             
     Reporter : Snapcase                  Interviewee : Omnibuz              
     Subject  : Rebels                    Affiliation : Rebels Leader        
                                                                             
 


 
                                                                             
    Q  : Let's start with some Rebels history, when did it all start?        
                                                                             
    A  : It's a long story, the group started in 1984 as an amiga demo       
         group.  We became one of the biggest demo groups in the world of    
         that time.  Rebels Amiga still exsists but is not run by the same   
         management team.  We no longer have anything to do with them.       
         There is also a Rebels C64 division somewhere in France.  We have   
         no contact with either of them.  Rebels PC was started in the       
         beginning of 1990 by Met and I.                                     
                                                                             
    Q  : Who came with the cool slogan "We make all days party days"?        
                                                                             
    A  : It was something that came up one night many years ago when Rebels  
         was still only an amiga demo group.  Met and some other guys from   
         Rebels was having a small party at one of a member's house.  They   
         were all dead drunk.  It sounds good, life is a party.  So we have  
         kept it ever since.                                                 
                                                                             
    Q  : What are the requirements to become a Rebels supplier?              
                                                                             
    A  : We currently have 15 members in Rebels, all of them except one are  
         located in Sweden, and nearly all of them supply in one way or      
         another.  We try to keep the best quality in our releases, but      
         sometimes low quality releases gets released by mistake.  That is   
         something we have discussed a lot the past few weeks.  We must      
         hold a release one day and check that everything works instead of   
         just releasing it as soon as we get our hands on it.  We have put   
         Mercury and Ivanhoe up as seniors, they will check things that Met  
         and I do not have time for.                                         
                                                                             
    Q  : I saw a game being released by Rebels a few weeks ago.  I thought   
         Rebels released only utilities.  Are Rebels going to be competing   
         in the game scene as well?                                          
                                                                             
    A  : Caffer, who released it is not even in rebels.  We only release     
         utilities, we will NOT release games.  If anyone sees a game by     
         Rebels, NUKE IT!!!                                                  
                                                                             
    Q  : How big is Rebels?                                                  
                                                                             
    A  : Everyone in Rebels is doing this as a hobby and we don't have much  
         pressure.  So I think we are doing very well.  We have been among   
         the top 10 groups for some time now, and before Pantera and Corp    
         started to release as much as they do today, we were among the top  
         5 groups.                                                           
                                                                             
    Q  : Do you think it is harder for a group to become established if      
         the group comes from a small country like Sweden?                   
                                                                             
    A  : Yes, but I think it is good that almost everyone in Rebels comes    
         from the same country and even the same city.  Our friendship is    
         much better than other groups.  We often get together to have a     
         good time without being in front of the computer.                   
                                                                             
    Q  : Where is the Rebels' WHQ located?                                   
                                                                             
    A  : We have had a whole lot of boards in Rebels history, many HQ's and  
         member boards, but we understood that we didn't needed that many    
         boards.  We will never have time to call them as often as we want   
         to.  Anyways, we want boards where we can call and contact each     
         other.  Therefore, we decided to have ONLY two baords.  It was      
         Digital Extortion as WHQ and Masturbation Station as USHQ, both     
         with telnet.  There, we could always get in touch with each other   
         and with people that were intrested in Rebels, but Digital          
         Extortion closed.  We realized that we needed a board in Sweden     
         where we could get new nfo's and so on, just a couple of days ago,  
         we took System one as WHQ (big board in sweden).                    
                                                                             
    Q  : Does Rebels have an official FTP Site HQ?                           
                                                                             
    A  : We have one unofficial FTP HQ.  It's mostly for the couriers so     
         that they can get the releases fast.                                
                                                                             
    Q  : Does Rebels have an official couriers group?                        
                                                                             
    A  : MALiCE is our official courier group. It is working flawlessly.     
                                                                             
    Q  : How about REBELS on IRC, I can't say Rebels is noticed there.       
                                                                             
    A  : I agree, we have not been active on IRC, but that is something we   
         really are working on.  We also have our own e-mail address and a   
         mailbox so you could get in contact with us there also.

    A  : Viper is a courier group, but not an ordinary courier group.  We    
         do more then just move warez, we also decode, and code, do art and  
         vga's, and we call long distance.                                   
                                                                             
    Q  : Who makes up ViPER?                                                 
                                                                             
    A  : Well, we have many couriers that have big backrounds, some from     
         MALiCE and fATE, a few from RiSC, and some from dead groups that    
         died in 1995.  We would like to recruit only the best in couriers   
         and coders and artists.  Therefore, we are very selective.          
                                                                             
    Q  : What are the requirements for one to join Viper?                    
                                                                             
    A  : The requirements for couriers are that they must have 1 year worth  
         of internet couriering experience, previous affiliations and        
         references are checked.  Artists must have at least 2 years doing   
         computer art, with accountable artwork and samples.  Coders must    
         be able to code in C or Pascal, and must have a minimum of 2 years  
         programming demos.  I have not yet required Assembly as a factor,   
         but the ViPER application does mention it.                          
                                                                             
    Q  : MALiCE, RiSC, and fATE require that their members be in only ONE    
         courier group.  ViPER is also a courier group, is there noticeable  
         conflicts of interest?                                              
                                                                             
    A  : No, I believe that being in more then 1 Group is a better way to    
         get experience couriering in the internet world, but if the two     
         groups conflict (duty) wise, then i will ask the person to switch   
         to a diffrent duty or make a choice between the two groups.         
                                                                             
    Q  : What makes ViPER different from other groups?                       
                                                                             
    A  : We call long distance, and we can decode files.  For example, if    
         Demolition comes to us with a release, but it has a password        
         protected database, we simply hack into the database and make the   
         program useable without the password or manuals.                    
                                                                             
    Q  : Does ViPER ever plan on putting on some competition with release    
         groups?                                                             
                                                                             
    A  : We are not in here for competition or fame, we are in the scene to  
         provide quality services so that everything comes from 1 group.     
                                                                             
    Q  : In your opinion, how does ViPER compare to other courier groups     
         such as RiSC, MALiCE, fATE, and MC?                                 
                                                                             
    A  : Well, RiSC is a good courier group, they move things well, and I    
         commend them on that, but we will not compare to their level of     
         courier ability because we do so many other things.  MALiCE is      
         another good courier group, and they compare well with RiSC, they   
         move things very well and are very orgnized, but all they can do    
         is courier, and that makes them one dimensional.  fATE is a great   
         courier group, despite some organization problems.  They do get     
         things done, but once again, they can only courier, and that makes  
         them one dimensional.  MindCrash is a well rounded group, but they  
         have had a lot of personal problems in the past.  I think having a  
         well structured group builds a basis from which to learn from.      
                                                                             
    Q  : So in general, you feel that a group that can do many different     
         things is better than a group that specializes in one area.  Why    
         is it then, that all big groups, such as PWA, DOD, RZR, and LGC,    
         concentrate only in one area, whether it is releasing utilities or  
         games?                                                              
                                                                             
    A  : Because doing what those groups do require total attention.  Since  
         you named release groups, they don't have time for other things.    
         They are focused on one thing, getting those warez out, and that    
         is understandable.                                                  
                                                                             
    Q  : So you are saying that that couirer groups, because they do not     
         have to worry about releasing, have more time to work on other      
         things such as cracking.  What is your opinion on courier groups    
         that also release?                                                  
                                                                             
    A  : For a courier group to release as well as courier is a great.  It   
         shows they are orginized and well staffed.  A group who does both   
         is the best group in my book, it shows they can handle their own    
         releases and do not need help.                                      
                                                                             
    Q  : So I assume that, as ViPER gets better, it will also release?       
         Will that ever conflict with members who are in ViPER who also      
         supply for other groups.                                            
                                                                             
    A  : I doubt ViPER will ever get around to releasing.  We would have to  
         be VERY large staffed to do so, and it would take up too much of    
         our time.  I think growing and getting better at the task at hand   
         will help us.

     Subject : Confusion in ROR                                              
                                                                             
 


 
                                                                             
   FRIDAY NIGHT                                                              
                                                                             
       Well, once again we see the sparks fly in RoR, this time things were  
   a bit different.  This was probably the biggest conflict involving RoR    
   so far, hopefully these problems will go away and the group can get back  
   to releasing.  Apparently, gaHn and Incarnate thought that tKLP was       
   using RoR for his own personal benefit, and was the sole reason why RoR   
   had gotten such a bad reputation.  They decided they would kick tKLP out  
   of the group and take it over.  Things didn't work as they hoped and the  
   members stuck behind tKLP more than they did for gaHn and Incarnate.      
   GaHn and Incarnate lost control of #RoR, and things seemed to be going    
   back under tKLP's control.  What lies ahead for the two groups, well RoR  
   seems to basically back to normal, with this incident having little       
   affect on them.  As for Gahn and Incarnate, who knows, perhaps they will  
   start a new group to rival RoR, or maybe they will just stick with other  
   established groups.  tKLP has numerous times proven himself to be a       
   great leader, despite his age which many people are unable to look past.  
   There have been many times that he has overcome great adversities with    
   RoR, and proved himself to be a very experienced and involved person in   
   the scene.  I have nothing but respect for what he has been able to do    
   with RoR through out all these problems, and I wish him good luck         
   keeping RoR alive for a long time.                                        
                                                                             
       Gahn has never been one of my favorite people, I have had a few bad   
   experiences with him, one of the main ones being my expulsion from RoR    
   soon after he became VP.  I tried to point out to people at that time     
   what Gahn was really like.  I do not know whether people believed me,     
   but the overall opinions I have heard recently have been that he is       
   power hungry and ego tripping.  Incarnate is a devoted and hard working   
   person who I personally have never had any problems with.  I know that    
   wherever he goes, he will only help out that group tremendously.          
                                                                             
                                                                             
   SATURDAY NIGHT                                                            
                                                                             
       I learned today that Gahn will be returning to RoR.  However,         
   Incarnate has been kicked out of RoR.  It seems that Gahn used Incarnate  
   as a scapegoat, and convinced tKLP that the takeover was Incarnate's      
   idea.  Incarnate claims that Gahn was also responsible.  The following    
   log file can make it clear to everyone, what really happened.

   Five days of the most important conversation between Incarnate and Gahn   
   are logged and shown below.  Read for yourself how Gahn and Incarnate     
   went "all out" against tKLP, and how Gahn later betrays Incarnate.        
                                                                             
 
                                                                             
   Start: Mon Jan 08 14:26:06 1996                                           
                                                                             
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Tell me if you like this idea.  Now RoR is only accepting     
               the true elites.  I think we want to be in a group that is    
               going to last.  Tell me what you think before I spill my      
               guts on it.                                                   
                                                                             
   <gaHn> You want to know the truth?  I think we need to rename the group   
          and start all over because we have the WORSE reputation in the     
          scene.  We need to re-recruit some of our old suppliers.  We only  
          have one or two right now, big shit.                               
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Shit, you are right.                                          
                                                                             
   <gaHn> We suck right now.  After the last TWO FUCKED up releases, we are  
          back to where we started from.                                     
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> If tKLP agrees, we should take a week to recruit the best     
               suppliers and restart.                                        
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Or we could merge into another group, what's the point of having   
          a group that can't release.                                        
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Sigh, yeah, but is a merge the answer?  Who would WANT us?    
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Do ya understand?  I think a few groups would.                     
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Well, I want some concrete plans before we take down RoR.     
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Merging is NOT the answer, but what are we going to do?  No good   
          supplier will come to RoR because we have such a bad reputation.   
          So what do we do?  That's all I want to know.                      
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Would you happen to have tKLP's number lying around?          
                                                                             
   <gaHn> We worked too hard to have it all fall apart.  Fuck tKLP.          
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Here's what we do, we suck up, not too noticeably, to some    
               GOOD groups, get RoR's publicity up, then we drop the group.  
                                                                             
   <gaHn> What about that shit Lysergic pulled with that dam release?  Why   
          can't we get fucking disk 6?                                       
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> But we'll be aranging a new group, I've some friends.         
                                                                             
   <gaHn> I would rather make RoR better.  I love the group.  I just don't   
          like the direction it's going.  But if we rename the group, and    
          pull some suppliers, I think we can rock.  Do you think we should  
          start another group???                                             
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Another group isn't always the best way, but in our case, it  
               just might be.  As long as our contributing members don't     
               object, then it would work.                                   
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Well, what about tKLP?                                             
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Well, he considers you as the brother he never had, so call   
               him up, and explain it politely.                              
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Yea, but he may go balistic...  :)  I have major connections in    
          PWA, DoD, RAZOR, MALiCE, and RiSC.  I think we can start slow and  
          work real hard at releasing the BEST programs on the market.  But  
          we will need Lysergic and JDA to do it.  I can pull in the most    
          elite couriers to come with us also, a cross between RiSC,         
          MALiCE, and so on...                                               
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Couriers get about 1/10 of the group's job done.  They are    
               mainly cosmetic, that is if they are elite.                   
                                                                             
   <gaHn> We really need to recruit some suppliers.                          
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Since Hybrid is dying, think we can grab a few from there?    
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Most of them already went to Razor, but we can try.  Should we do  
          both apps and games?  I think we can release both, but I think we  
          should really think about that.  So let's start testing some       
          people and see who we can recruit.. ok?                            
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Yeah, can I please have tKLP's phone number?  You want to     
               tell him to fuck off, or can I?                               
                                                                             
   <gaHn> You can..                                                          
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Grin :)                                                       
                                                                             
   <gaHn> tKLP and I have been fighting alot lately because I'm in MALiCE    
          and he starts trouble with a lot of other groups.  I want us to    
          have the BEST relations with other groups.  RoR files aren't even  
          allowed on "The Wall".  I have to twist tKLP's arm so he doesn't   
          release everything he gets.  It's a fucking battle every day.      
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> He always quits irc in the middle of a conversation, he       
               kicks people out of RoR for the dumbest reasons.              
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Did you notice how well Legacy is doing?  Well, everyone thinks    
          Legacy is better than us.                                          
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Legacy sucks.                                                 
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Yeah, but they are doing well.  I hate that.                       
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Yeah.. sigh.                                                  
                                                                             
   <gaHn> I would stay here but TKLP would have to leave, but I don't want   
          to hurt him.  RoR would get a better name very fast if he left.    
          But as I said, I don't want to hurt him.  Now about me.  A lot of  
          people may not like the way I do things.  They all know that I do  
          a good job and run a group like a real business so that helps us   
          a lot.  I don't take lame shit from anyone, and that's the way it  
          should be.  I have people from MALiCE, RiSC, and DOD telling me    
          all the time that I should just take the group, but I don't want   
          to do that.  I think we can recruit some awesome suppliers.  So    
          what do you think?  Keep RoR or start another group?               
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Let's start recruiting, see how it goes, and if it's not      
               good.  We try and reform RoR, but I think it WILL go good.    
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Whatever we do, I have the support of MALiCE and RiSC, assuming    
          tKLP is not in it.                                                 
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Same here, I've got friends in NTA (not that those lazy bums  
               could help....=)  We will need a name.  I just got an idea,   
               we could rip some suppliers out of CORP since I'm friends     
               with Uncle John.  Uncle John hates tKLP.

   <iNCARNATE> Have you recruited anyone yet?                                
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Kind of, I've been feeling out people.                             
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> I talked to Darkforce from RiSC and he said he could get a    
               few people to join, with your permission.                     
                                                                             
   <gaHn> Yes, but he has to make sure they are connected.

   <gaHn> Hey man I'm REALLY sick of TKLP.  Ok, that's what we'll do ok??    
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Yeah, no chickening out.                                      
                                                                             
   <gaHn> I'm in man.  ALL THE WAY!!!                                        
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Ahh yeah.  RoR is ours ;)  I'm going to have to convince JDA  
               and Lysergic to stay.  Uncle John will welcome the prospect   
               of tKLP being booted.                                         
                                                                             
   <gaHn> I bet they will listen to you.                                     
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Yeah, everyone listens to me, I'll sweet talk them all.       
               Shit man, I think RoR is a LOST CAUSE.  We can grab the good  
               suppliers, and some RiSC and PWA members and make some good   
               shit happen with a new group.  I say we just leave tKLP in    
               the dust with the rest of the lamers.                         
                                                                             
   <gaHn> That sounds like a plan.  I'm pumped!!!!                           
                                                                             
   <iNCARNATE> Whatever you want to do, I'm with you 110%.                   
                                                                             
   <gaHn> I say we kick him first.  I have to do that.  You have no idea     
          what he has been putting me through.  I need to do that first.     
          Just send him the message that he CANNOT treat people like his

   <iNCARNATE> I'm beginning to think that RoR is not WORTH taking over.     
               Should we let Darkforce in on this?

   <iNCARNATE> What about me?  So what's going on?  Is he pissed or what?    
               What are you guys talking about?

       Ghan went back to RoR, and blamed everything on Incarnate.  What a    
   true friend!  Ghan's last words to Incarnate were, "No matter what        
   happens, I will stand by you!"

   NOTE : The following does not necessarily represent the active views of   
          RCN or its members.                                                
                                                                             
   Hello RCN readers,                                                        
                                                                             
   First off, I would like to introduce myself.  I am TRiTE, a new writer    
   on the outstanding RCN staff.  In this issue, I will be reviewing and     
   rating utility groups and their roles in the scene.  I hope I will serve  
   RCN well with well thought-out, unbiased opinions.  My rating system is   
   based on three criteria which I believe all releasing groups should       
   follow.  They are:                                                        
                                                                             
                                                                             
      1.  QnQ Theory.  QnQ means "Quality not Quantity."  I believe that     
          all groups should embrace this theory, not worrying about beating  
          everyone else with the speediest release team, but ensuring a      
          quality release, one without errors, virii, or a proper crack.     
                                                                             
                                                                             
      2.  Group support.  By this I mean a group open to suggestions and     
          criticism without getting overly fizzled by the sutuation.  A      
          group needs input from its end users as to better its team in      
          future releases.                                                   
                                                                             
      3.  Scene Awareness.  This is perhaps one of the most important of     
          the three.  This is how aware a releasing group is of the scene,   
          what it stands for, and what it means to them.  I rate this based  
          based on how a group treats visitors to their channel, how they    
          respond to inquiries about joining, their participation in         
          spreading their release, and their communication with couriers.    
          Universally, who they are, and the role they play in the scene     
          today.                                                             
                                                                             
 
                                                                             
                                                                             
                           /\____/\_____/\____/\__

                         /  /  /  /  \ __/  /__/  /                          
                        /  /__/  /  _/ \_ _/ \___/                           
                        \__  /\__  /\__/  /  /                               
                          \_/   \_/    \_/\_/                                
                                                                             
       The first group I will be reviewing is "The Corporation."  TC         
   emerged onto the scene a few months ago as a Telecom Courier team.  They  
   have since developed into a strong utility release team.  Headed by       
   'Uncle John' and 'David and Goliath,' this team has played a major role   
   in the utility scene.  Pushing themselves to the very limits of their     
   superior releasing ability, they have dominated the utility scene in      
   past weeks, compromising the integrity of even the oldest and most        
   respected teams.  I feel TC to be a major rising power in the scene in    
   the past weeks, compromising the integrity of even the oldest and most    
   respected teams.  I feel TC to be a major rising power in the falling     
   ranks of neighboring competitors.                                         
                                                                             
        Since January 1, 1996, TC has released approximately thirteen        
   quality releases, embracing the Quality part of the QnQ theory, while     
   surpassing the Quantity component.  So far, I have not heard any          
   complaints on TC releases, so as for now I give TC a 9.5 based on the     
   QnQ Criteria.                                                             
                                                                             
       I have visited #corp on IRC here and there just to sneak a peek of    
   what they're up to.  I was surprised to see the goings on in this         
   channel.  Potential applicants are greeted respectfully, and given an     
   application as soon as someone can find one <grin>.  Anyone with          
   questions or remars about past, present, and future releases is answered  
   promptly upon request.  This is truly an amazing group with major         
   potential for greatness.  I give them a solid 9 for group support, and a  
   7 in scene awareness.  The reason for the 7 is that I feel, although TC   
   is speedy with quality releases, it seems to me that they are a little    
   pre-occupied with the Quantity component of QnQ theory, and this is not   
   what the scene is about.  It's not a race of fierce competitors in the    
   underground of computer software, it is the bringing of quality software  
   to all of us WareZies :-)                                                 
                                                                             
       Overall, I give TC a rating of 8.5, without neglecting a small        
   margin for improvement.  TC is a great team with strong suppliers!

       The next utility releasing group I will be rating is "Drink or Die"   
   (DOD).  DOD is no newcomer to the scene.  In fact, DOD is one of the      
   oldest, most respected utility group in the scene today.  They first      
   emerged several years ago, back in the age of 2400 baud modems, and       
   when the Internet was just being introduced to the warez scene.  DOD has  
   been releasing quality utilities ever since I can remember, and I'm sure  
   it will continue to be a strong force in utilities for a long time.       
                                                                             
       In the past, DOD dominated the scene with their quick releases, but   
   not neglecting the quality.  I feel that recently, DOD has been more      
   concerned with releasing something very fast, with little regard to the   
   size of the ware or its integrity, than with anything else.  Although     
   they have a much lower defect rate on their releases than a lot of other  
   groups, I just don't think they pay as much attention to what they        
   release.  I think last week I saw a 52 disk release of a lawyer program.  
   This is what I'm talking about.  I'm sure a few people might take the     
   time to download that, I'm sure most won't.  So my rating for DOD on QnQ  
   is 7.5.                                                                   
                                                                             
       DOD has been a leader in releasing for years, and since have made a   
   respectful impression in the warez scene, I can only hope other groups    
   strive to achieve what they have accomplished.  I had a hard tiem rating  
   their group support component, as they keep their channel invite only at  
   all times, and I'm told they do all recruiting by mail and on one of      
   their HQ Sites, which is fine, but I do not see any interfacement         
   between the group and the rest of the scene, which as state before, is a  
   major problem if they are trying to improve their team to become more     
   effective in releasing.  So my rating for group support is 7.  DOD has    
   shown us their superior ability in releasing throughout the years, and I  
   feel they have tremendous scene awareness, after all, how could they      
   have survived so long without awareness?  I can't really say much except  
   kudos to DOD for their efforts.  A solid 8 for scene awareness.           
                                                                             
       DOD's longevity and dominance in the scene is an admirable one.       
   They have been among the leading release groups in existance, as long as  
   the scene has existed.  They play a vital role in the existance of the    
   warez scene.  My overall rating of DOD is 7.5.  They have the strength    
   and experience of an able group, and they play a major part in the scene  
   as we know it.  They hvae achieved greatness and have done, and to this   
   day, still do their part.  It might possibly be that their experience     
   and long life is what's holding them back.

       Finally, "Pirates with Attitudes" (PWA) has been around since the     
   birth of the scene as we know it.  They practically invented it!  PWA in  
   the past has been the role model for groups, to achieve excellence and    
   respect, small groups on the rise used PWA as their goal.  If they could  
   rank with PWA, they would have done what few groups have ever done.       
   That is still the case today.                                             
                                                                             
       PWA has had approcimately 17 releases in the January 1-January 10,    
   1996 time frame, completely obliterating all competition.  They have had  
   a continual omnierous presence in the scene since their birth and are     
   still today, which is why I rate them a solid 10 for QnQ theory.          
                                                                             
       Since PWA's merger with SCuM I have not heard of any recruiting.      
   Their channel is locked, invite only.  I am not sure ohw they recruit or  
   if they even recruit at all.  In this case I don't see a problem with     
   this, because from what I have seen, it definitely works for them!        
   Although this is not good practice for a group, I give them a 7 on group  
   support.                                                                  
                                                                             
       PWA has basically been a closed group, open to only the best          
   traders, sites, and suppliers.  They give a new meaning to excellence,    
   and are an evident role model among competitors.  They have strived       
   throughout the years to be their best and have done what few have done,   
   survived.  I rate PWA a 9 in scene awareness.  Overall, I rate PWA a 8.7  
   because they could use some work on group support.                        
                                                                             
                                                                             
 
                                                                             
                                                                             
       To recap, I see The Corporation as a rising entity n the util scene   
   with the talent and potential to be a great group.  Drink or die has      
   always been a major competitor, but lately have just slumped in other     
   areas.  Pirates With Attitudes as always is the leader in the util scene  
   with tremendous power and prestige.  I just hope they do not fall prey    
   to their egos.

       The problem with user response is that they all fear the IRCOps,      
   thinking that an IRCOp will /kill them when they come on, or kill them    
   when they speak to them.  And that fear is wrong, I cannot believe that   
   IRC could ever become so hostile in such a short period of time.  I am    
   also angry at the IRCOps who do not confront other IRCOps who do wrong!   
   It has been a few weeks since the problem with Piker, and there are       
   still no responses, and no actions.  This gives users of IRC a reason to  
   fear the IRCOps, because as "Piker" epitomized, IRCOps can do anything    
   to anyone, without reason, right or wrong, and it will go unheard and     
   unpunished.  So users on irc, beware, the "irc.portal.com" IRCOps, they   
   can do whatever they want, to whomever they please.

     Subject : fATE Senior Staff vs. Ctiger?                                 
                                                                             
 


 
                                                                             
       Well, this doesn't make much sense but the facts are, an attempt at   
   taking over Anti Derivative was foiled, or was it an attempt?  Who        
   knows, better yet, ask who cares, but as Ctiger was stating it was no     
   little thing.  It all started when Ctiger made a statement that the Prez  
   and VP are NEVER around, and she thinks they should be around more        
   often.  Anti Derivative and god didn't take that lightly, but it got      
   worse, Ctiger also said that Anti Derivative should not be the Prez of    
   fATE and that it should be Touch Tone, and no one else.  She basically    
   said that Anti Derivative was worthless, but he was not going to stand    
   by idly.  What started as a "voicing of opinions" soon turned into a      
   large swearing match, Ctiger was called an "IRC Whore", etc.  But why is  
   all this fighting happening if there was no takeover attempt?  Touch      
   Tone said, "I saw no mutiny.  There was no attempt.  I was not involved   
   in a takeover of the senior staff of fATE."  Which was true, but what     
   Ctiger was saying that some of the lagging members in fATE, such as Anti  
   Derivative, could be replaced.  However, Touch Tone said he would NEVER   
   take the position of Prez of fATE unless Anti Derivative stepped down.    
                                                                             
       As god said earlier, "Ctiger brought out that truck driver part of    
   her we didn't know about, and she said things unforgivable."  The funny   
   part is, she was trying to say that Anti Derivative was a bad Prez        
   because he was not online much, but he was not online much because he     
   was busy taking care of the fATE boards, off of the internet, which is    
   very commendable.  So Ctiger's hope of pinning an "Inactive"  Anti        
   Derivative failed miserably, and in the process, showed her real side,    
   proving that fATE cannot have her as a member.                            
                                                                             
       Not to say anything bad about Ctiger, but here's something for her,   
   "Look before you leap" because jumping out on those very fragile LIMBS    
   is a dangerous thing.  As you saw the other day, they can BREAK."

       Well, speaking of ass kickings, this is a good example of one, I'm    
   not REALLLY downing on Inquisition, because they have had some good       
   stuff, but otherwise, THEY SUCK.  I mean, may be saying this will wake    
   them up a bit, and get them starting on working on their text e-mag       
   again.  I was talking to a guy named Raptor, in PWA about something I     
   thought they would like to know.  Some guy named Aftershock, who knows    
   who he is, but all I know  is that he is GAY.  Anyways, Aftershock was    
   claming he was the PWA Prez, so I contacted someone in PWA and I got      
   Raptor.  Raptor claimed HE was the Prez of PWA and foudner of INQ.  We    
   conversed and he said he never heard of anyone called Aftershock, and     
   that it was all bullshit.  I told him that if Aftershock was real, I'd    
   publish it, he got all offensive and said, "It's BULLSHIT".  The way he   
   sounded, I got feelings that he was hiding something, VERY BIG.  Then I   
   told him I would not publish lies, but maybe INQ would like to publish    
   it.  Unaware of INQ policy, he got very offenisve, yelled at me, and      
   started calling me names.  So I just laughed at him, and get even more    
   angry.  I asked him what was his problem, and he said "You knocking       
   INQ?", in a threatening tone.  I was only asking whether or not they'd    
   publish that.  Who the fuck cares, quit being a woman about it.  He then  
   proceeded to ignore me, like I care.                                      
                                                                             
       Let's get down to the facts, RCN has a WELL coded E-Mag, INQ does     
   not.  RCN has more appealing articles and interviews, and more reader     
   response, INQ doesn't.  I'm not just making this shit up out of hot air.  
   This is from READER response and from comparable subjects.  Fact : RCN    
   has thousands of READERS all over the Internet.  Fiction : RCN does NOT   
   have a text version, check the zip, for all those Unix users.  In my      
   days as a writer for RCN, I have NEVER EVER had this many people come up  
   to me and prasing RCN.  Funny how we get so much response, and we don't   
   even have a DAMN channel.                                                 
                                                                             
       To INQ, some final comments, do some coding, add some music, your     
   E-Mag AINT got all the articles.  Better luck next time!

       This is just a quick note to group leaders.  There are too many       
   nowadays, and that means that to become better than another group, you    
   really don't have to work very hard.  With this, come a lot of problems   
   with egos.  The minute a group gets big, or at least bigger than          
   another, its leaders get all egoistical and start treating members like   
   shit.  I saw this a few days ago with a member applying to Legacy.  It    
   was a member applying as a supplier, we chatted a bit, and decided that   
   we would accept him as a games-only supplier.                             
                                                                             
       The decision made by the member himself was that he would supply all  
   of his games to Legacy, and probably his utils to ROR, something I look   
   very deeply into because it was no longer my matter.  Not a minute after  
   the decision was made and I announced to the group that we were           
   welcoming a new member, tKLP (of whom we've spoken too much in this       
   issue the way it is) spurted out "He's MINE!!"  He proceeded to say that  
   ROR would offer him more than Legacy would.  I haven't stopped thinking   
   about the incident since.                                                 
                                                                             
       The member was brought into the group upon his own will.  He was not  
   bought into the group with a senior position or anything to that nature.  
   He applied, and we accepted.  Telling him that another group would offer  
   him more is like luring a dog in with a bigger dinner plate than the      
   neighbor gave him.  Suppliers, if anybody, are usually treated worse      
   than anybody else, which seems rather backwards to me.  Suppliers,        
   because they are often not conversed with as much, are seen less and      
   thus have their opinions ignored.  We can't treat our members as dogs,    
   nor can we continue to be so egoistical.  One thing I have learned        
   through my time in the scene is that you get nowhere by being an asshole  
   to everybody you see.  It only damages relations with others, and will    
   ultimately get banned off of every channel/board/friends list you ever    
   try to set foot on.

     Subject : Hybrid Leaders on WELFARE???                                  
                                                                             
 


 
                                                                             
       From my sources, I have learned that the Hybrid leaders, are          
   currently leeching off of the government of United States.  I must also   
   assume then, because the Hybrid leaders are on Welfare, they must have    
   a lot of free time on their hands.  This information is unconfirmed, but  
   the word of the hour claims that the Hybrid leaders, because they pay     
   their suppliers, are in financial troubles.  In order to get out of       
   their humongous debt, the Hybrid leaders must find MONEY to repay their   
   suppliers.  What's the quickest way to MONEY?  Welfare.                   
                                                                             
       According to my calculations, if the Hybrid leaders, did not eat,     
   and sold all their food stamps, and saved the rest of their money.  Then  
   perhaps they could get out of their debt by mid February or early March.  
   The Scene is in need of another good games group such as Hybrid, with     
   the death of TDU-JAM, the scene slumped horribly, and it would be sad to  
   see Hybrid die as well.  However, I would like to show sympathy for a     
   great group such as Hybrid.  First off, their leaders are probably        
   unemployed, third class citizens with low morale, so they have all this   
   free time making Hybrid a good group, and then, they have to watch their  
   group die due to financial problems.  A good games group such as Hybrid   
   must certainly help lift up the spirits of their poor leaders, and to     
   see Hybrid die must be heart breaking.  I hope those problems are         
   resolved soon, if not, I hope that Hybrid at least lives on for a long    
   time, after all, it's a nice name.                                        
                                                                             
       However, if the Republicans, lead by Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich, get  
   the cutbacks on Welfare and Medicaid, then the Hybrid leaders would be    
   getting a pay cut, and in turn, it would take til around late March or    
   early April before Hybrid gets back up.  So for those of you who do not   
   like Hybrid, vote Republican, and for those of you who like Hybrid, vote  
   Democrat.  However, you must also remember, Republicans respect the 2nd   
   ammendment (right to bear arms), and also respect the freedom of the      
   internet (speech), and have not expressed much in regards to regulating   
   pirated software.  For those of us old enough to vote, it will be a hard  
   choice indeed.

       Welcome to Dear Entropy!  This is going to be YOUR column that is a   
   cross between Dear Abby and Dave Berry.  The most important part of this  
   is YOUR participation.  If you have ever had a question about the scene,  
   or just a comment, here's the place!  Have you ever wanted to know why    
   some people do this or that?  ASK!  We would love to take it to the       
   extreme for you and we will be happy to research it!  I hope you have as  
   much fun with this as I will!  Remember, this is YOUR column!             
                                                                             
 

 
                                                                             
   Dear Entropy,                                                             
                                                                             
       Was Irritated STUPID or something?  He shouldn't be pissed at RoR     
   because he's too fucking lazy or illiterate.  You could see from the      
   file_id.diz that it was "The Planets : The Ulitmate Astronomy CD... NOT   
   The Ultimate Game."  Just because you're a sucker doesn't mean people     
   didn't find the release interesting and entertaining.  I'm sorry if it's  
   too advanced for your intelect.                                           
                                                                             
   P.S. Since it took you 9 fucking hours to download 36 disks, THROW AWAY   
   YOUR DAM XT AND 300 BAUD IN THE TRASH!  Get a haircut, get a life, and    
   get a real job!                                                           
                                                                             
                                                Signed,                      
                                                        tKLP                 
                                                                             
                                                                             
 
                                                                             
       Well, I see here that with another immature response to one immature  
   comment things could just keep going on eh?  In my oppinion a response    
   of more maturity would have been a little better solution to the          
   problem, but everbody has their own way.  I think that maybe it is the    
   job of the releaser to print more clearly what exactly the program is     
   on the file_id.diz.   We used to have more of a description, now it's     
   just 5 lines of cheap ascii, and 1 line to describe what it is.  What is  
   more important to you?  Ascii, or making people feel informed?            
                                                                             
 
                                                                             
   Next Week's Topic : The Great @.                                          
                                                                             
       Ops.  The term that has come to mean so much to some of us.  What is  
   it really?  A small ascii symbol, but to some it is more likely their     
   source of power and maybe even their ego.  People seem to go into         
   channels and beg for them.  They say that they will do anything to gain   
   it, but why?  Is having the power to kick/ban/invite/whatever so great?   
   In my opinion, no.  Sure it is nice to have and it does have many         
   advantages, but other then that. it is a bunch of pixels grouped in a     
   small symbol.  People, GET OVER IT.  If having a @ next to your name      
   means so much, then you have to get out more!  Having a @ does not mean   
   you're cool or k-rad.  Are you trying to impress your friends by saying   
   that you have ops in #Warez5000 because then, you can just kick those     
   really lame AOL people.  Let me tell you something, those AOL peopole     
   are no worse then you if you are like that.  RCN reported last issue on   
   the IRC Ops and how they just ban because out of pure selfishness,        
   without regards to improving the Internet.  If you have a @ in channel,   
   respect it, but don't worship yourself.  If it is taken away from you,    
   it does not mean you are an idiot or that people hate you.  It is merely  
   nothing special.                                                          
                                                                             
   P.S. Remember to reply!  This is YOUR column!!!
