Remember, all I INITIALLY wanted to do was to find the first instance where the topic of AP appeared in the list. Then I (and others) have quickly discovered what appears to be a weird omission of postings.
...an "assassination" of sorts.
I think many of my postings appear, just none (prior to November 1995) on the subject of AP. I cannot say much about other subjects, simply because I haven't looked at other threads, and I don't claim to be able to remember what other ideas were being discussed. This may end up being a substantial piece of work, which could take time. I ask again, could somebody find the date of the AP-essay appearance on CP? Maybe that will be a simple, discrete task that could be quickly done? Once a better picture of what data is missing appears, I will probably have no choice but to cry "fraud!!!". And I think we should pay attention to people, here, who AREN'T acting in a concerned fashion. What is their motivation? Does this possibility bother them?
Yes. I was on the list back in the 90s, shortly after the WIRED cover in '93. I find it odd. I have seen several strange internet-related omissions and interference related to internet revolutionaries who don't follow the dominant liberal or conservative political masters. I, myself, have been a target on sites such as StackExchange where they've tried to delete my content when they have a freaking VOTING MODEL for the community to decide! Anyway, best of luck, fellow dissident, Marxos Earth
