                                  Appendix

History:

Part I of "The True Story of the InterNet," entitled, "The Xenix Chainsaw
Massacre" was written by the Author, but left incomplete by his unexpected
death.
The Epilogue to Part I was written by Bubba D'Shauneaux.

Part II of "The True Story of the InterNet" was completed in what might be
called "finished-outline form" by the Author before his death, with copius
notes left behind as to the nature of "moving events" which would need to be
addressed ad hoc during the release of the manuscript.
The manuscript was completed as a group effort by the individuals who form
the core of characters who are the protagonists in Part II.

Non-Disclaimer:

Although many of the events (and some of the characters) contained in the
manuscripts which comprise "The True Story of the InterNet" are allegorical,
all references to the activities and events in the Author's life, up to the
date of publication, are based totally on verifiable fact.
Although some of the events and connections attributed to the Author may
seem outlandish or contrived, rest assured that they are not considered to
be so by those who actually knew him. He lived a life which was unusual, to
say the least, and absolutely no embellishment was, or is, needed, in order
to to make his personal story more compelling or realistic.

InterNet/WWW Hosting of "True Story of the InterNet" Manuscripts:

The manuscripts may be placed on any InterNet or Worldwide Web Site without
restriction, as long as they remain intact, with all appropriate credits and
copyrights, and it is done for non-profit purposes only.
Those hosting the manuscripts may, if they wish, adjoin their own additions
to the remaining space in the WebWorld Chapter 25 Stego (hopefully doing so
within the theme of the work). All additions shall be deemed to be covered
under Pearl Publishing's copyright of the manuscript.

Acknowledgments:

A wide variety of individuals have worked toward the completion and
dissemination of the "True Story of the InterNet" manuscripts since the
beginning of their release in 1989.
To date, none of them have asked for acknowlegment, in any way, shape, or
form.

While there may be cynics who maintain that this may be due to the multitude
of problems sometimes experienced by those whose participation in the
release of the manuscripts has become known, or suspected, my personal
perception is that the people involved are quite simply acting out of what
they see as a need for the manuscripts to be given exposure, regardless of
the level of reception the works receive.

Acknowlegments are in order, however, for those who make it worthwhile for
those involved in the dissemination of the manuscripts to give their time
and effort in this cause.
And who is it that makes the effort worthwhile? It is the individual who is
beset by the same trials and tribulations as the average person, but who
nevertheless strives to rise above the hardship and discrimination that
results from swimming against the tide of humanity currently being swept
along by the dark forces who direct and control both the mediums through
which we communicate with one another and the societal and legislative
regulations which govern those mediums.
It is the individual who fights against the constant barrage of information
and disinformation, at every turn, which seeks to mold them into a small cog
in a collective, subservient mindset that worships the ten-second sound
byte, the party line, and the group reality.
It is the individual who struggles to maintain a private island of
intellect, rationality and integrity, in the face of seemingly overwhelming
forces which struggle daily to subdue him or her, and bring them into
subjection to the enemy of all humanity-robotic acceptance of an unlimited
authority which claims to have the right to exercise dominion over the
rights, freedoms, and personal conscience of the individual.

These individuals are scattered across the face of the earth-alone, in small
groups, throughout networks of people who work in concert, and in the secret
places, working furtively, in constant fear of discovery by those who are
threatened by their ideals and their actions.

Those involved in the dissemination of Part II of "The True Story of the
InterNet" have agreed that acknowledgment for the distribution of "WebWorld
& The Mythical Circle of Eunuchs" should go to those who currently manifest
many of the qualities of the Author's allegorical "Magic Circle."
