   I have taken the liberty of sending a death threat to someone and
   forging your name and digiture to it. (No need to thank me, I just like
   to help out.) I don't usually take this kind of arbitrary action
   (unless I'm running low on meds) but I thought drastic measures were
   called for when I came across evidence that your name is about to be
   sullied and your business endangered, due to a plot between a psychotic
   lunatic and an employee of yours who is an agent for a secret
   organization which has been responsible for inspiring and supporting a
   wide range of anti-technological terrorists, including the UnaBomber
   and the genius behind the PS/2. Who are these people, you ask? (I have
   extremely good ears.) Bubba Rom Dos, TruthMonger and Blanc Weber. All
   card-carrying members of the Circle of Eunuchs. I have long suspected
   that a series of underground manuscripts titled 'The True Story of the
   InterNet' had, as their ultimate aim, the total destruction of
   MicroSoft. Sure enough, in Part III of the series, "InfoWar," the
   author, known as TruthMonger, suggests: ~~~ "Video_World, and TV_World.
   Those were the titles we had put to Part II of 'The True Story of the
   InterNet.' But that was before the censorship crisis on the CypherPunks
   mailing list, when we saw the sticky, tangled tentacles that lay at the
   root of the World Wide Web. "And before Gomez began to build his Evil
   Empire on the cornerstone of WebTV." ~~~ Part II, "WebWorld & the
   Mythical Circle of Eunuchs," reveals the role played by Blanc Weber in
   her subversive intentions to help in the destruction of MicroSoft, with
   the goal of promoting her own secret technologies. ~~~ Apparently,
   HydroCube storage technology had been in existence for some time before
   its official announcement by BabyGates Technology. The Kid, as she was
   called, had been the daughter, lover, or employee of the richest man in
   the world, depending on which version of this era you believed. Her
   star had risen, even as Microsoft's star had begun to fall, mostly as a
   result of her development of the HydroCube, with its nearly infinite
   data-storage capacity. And now, Jonathan had reason to believe that the
   Kid had actually been a member of the CypherPunks, masquerading under
   the pseudonym of Blanc Weber. ~~~ So, as you can plainly see, it is
   only a matter of time before these self-proclaimed Freeh->dumb Fighters
   decide to begin openly attacking you with slanderous truths about
   yourself, Gomez and the Dark Allies, the lady midget wrestler and the
   bed full of chickens, as well as the role of Susan Canizales as your
   dietary aide. Yes, I know...you are shaking in your boots at the
   prospect of these facts coming out (complete with 4"x8" color
   graphics), but there *are* actions you can take to thwart these dire
   possibilities. Fortunately, Part III is being released on the
   cypherpunks@toad.com mailing list, under the TruthMonger multi-user
   persona, who has formed a secret alliance with the Cypherpunks'
   distributed persona, Anonymous. Thus, if you act quickly, you might be
   able to strike first, writing your own chapter of Part III and sending
   it to the Cypherpunks list, anonymously, copyrighting it as
   "TruthMonger " in order to piss in the face of the known list forger
   who is known to be responsible for many of the chapters submitted.
   (Then you could sue the bastard!) In *your* chapter, you could give
   yourself any role you desired in the history, present and future of
   humankind. My suggestion would be to beat these rapscallions to the
   punch by using the Taoist tactic of creating 'yourself' as an evil
   creature of your own design--far more diabolical than even your enemies
   could imagine. The Circle of Eunuchs would then be honor-bound, as
   cross-matchers (under NLP theology), to assign you a role as a secret
   hero in a later chapter, thus saving you the embarrassment of having to
   blow your own horn to keep the Universe in balance. Sameer, president
   of C2Net, is reportedly under heavy medication by his physician as the
   result of the stress of trying to think of something positive he can
   say about himself and his organization, under the savage attacks
   against his corporation and his private person by these evil
   conspirators. In conclusion, I would add that it is traditional to
   reward/torture the masochistic, paranoid schizophrenic who supplies
   many of the more bizarre of the CoE's conspiracy theories, by adding
   some subtle hint pointing to some future event in history, based on
   your own inside knowledge. (The point being to make it glaringly
   obvious to crazed conspiracy theorists, but something that will make
   them look like a 'lunatic' if they try pointing it out to normal
   people.) An AT&T employee once made a prophetic claim in the series to
   an event which proved to be true in concept, way off-base in details,
   except that he inserted a reference to the Message ID number of the
   future email he foresaw, and then released the announcement months
   later with a Message ID that was the reverse of the foretold one...

   Minow "Are you a man, or a Minnow?" Electronic Forgery Foundation The
   wild-eyed, disheveled figure sat hunched over the keyboard of his
   laptop, frantically seeking meaning in the words that lay before him.
   "Hello, Dimitri. How are you feeling today?" The mad doctor furtively
   lowered the screen on his laptop, hiding his important work from the
   prying eyes of his patient. "Hello, Igor." Dr. Dimitri Vulis, KOTM
   said, eyeing the patient suspiciously. "Please, call me Igor." the
   Kremlin spy replied, causing Dr. Vulis to quickly search his mind and
   memory to recall their conversation to this point. Nothing there Igor
   Chudov eyed the evil Doctor's laptop suspiciously, raising his eyebrows
   ever so slightly, but enough so that Dimitri could tell exactly what he
   was thinking. He could even tell what the patient's next words would
   be, in regard to his excess use of power in the 'Home' to run his
   spambots. Igor, speaking softly, then raising his voice as he leaned
   closer and closer to Dr. Vulis, asked, "We wouldn't be writing a letter
   about our good friend, SAMEER, would we?" Dimitri jumped up in terror,
   clutching the laptop to his breast. They knew! They knew about his
   regression into his paranoid C2Net conspiracy theories. Now they would
   punish him again, possibly even going so far as to make him install the
   Windows operating system on another of his UNIX boxes. Dimitri steeled
   himself for the patient's verdict. Igor relaxed, sat down on the edge
   of the table, and said, casually, "Just kidding, Dimitri. I know that
   you're working on your EFF material." Dimitri eyed Igor suspiciously,
   but Igor merely continued, "Don't worry Dimitri, I am in favor of your
   creation of the Electronic Forgery Foundation." He couldn't resist
   adding, "Very clever of you to plant all of that evidence pointing
   toward Toto as the source of the plethora of forgeries to the
   CypherPunks list." A shit-eating grin spread across Dr. Vulis' face as
   he realized that, this time, he had been caught for doing something he
   wouldn't be punished for. Rewarded, perhaps? Cautiously, Dr. Vulis
   asked Igor, "So can I have more medication? All of the others in
   treatment here are getting better drugs than me, because they are
   patients being treated by doctors. Why am I the only doctor being
   treated by a patient?" "Now Dimitri," Igor shook his head, negatively,
   "you are exaggerating again. You know that John Young and Robert
   Hettinga are the only two here who are getting better drugs than you,
   and it is only occasionally, when they share a room, and then only in
   order to increase their pleasure when they engage inuuhhhCypherPunk
   activities." Dimitri got angry, as Igor knew would result from feeding
   his fantasies, "I know what you're talking about!" Dimitri always
   gotuuhhh'excited', when this subject came up. "They're sucking each
   other's cocks! This place is full of cocksuckers, and the biggest one
   of all is cocksucker John Gilmore !" Igor enjoyed getting Dimitri
   worked up into a lather before leaving him to continue with his
   openly-secret activities. As he closed and locked Dr. Vulis' door, he
   shouted to him, "I'll have Ray Arachelian look in on you a little
   later." "Keep that murdering Armenian bastard away from me!" Dr. Vulis
   screamed in terror, before becoming distracted by a passing fly and
   forgetting what it was that he was so angry about. No matter. He would
   get mad about something else, instead. After all, he was a Freedom
   Knight. Being an angry, aggressive activist fighting valiantly against
   petty nuisances that most people just ignore was a Freedom Knight
   tradition. Dr. Vulis opened up his laptop and bent over to attend to
   his important work, once again. Dimitri checked two names off of his
   list. The President, and the Big Kid, BillyG. Now that he had set up
   his unwitting shill, Toto? the Lunatic, he reminded himself, by sending
   veiled threats to two of the most powerful figures in the Freeh World,
   he would now begin to close his evil, circuitous trap by turning his
   attention to pissing off other world leaders, with ? the Lunatic acting
   as the exposed target, once again. He had pissed off Apple Computers,
   as well, by attributing the anonymous email to BillyG to an Apple
   employee. Now he would divert suspicion 'from' himself by attributing
   this chapter of Part III 'to' himself, so that everyone would think
   that it must surely be another forgery by ? the Lunatic. ~~~ ::
