So we get to my point. Surely people around here read things that arent on the *Officially Sanctioned Cyberpunk Reading List*. Surely we dont (any of us) really believe that there is some big, deep political and philosophical message in all this, do we? So if this `cyberpunk thing is just a term of convenience, how can somebody sell out? If cyberpunk is just a word we use to describe a particular style and imagery in sf, how can it be dead? Where are the profound statements that the `Movement is or was trying to make? I think most of us are interested in examining and discussing literary (and musical) works that possess a certain stylistic excellence and perhaps a rather extreme perspective; this is what CP is all about, no? Maybe there should be a newsgroup like, say, alt.postmodern or something. Something less restrictive in scope than alt.cyberpunk. -- Jeff G. Bone

THE "FUN WITH USENET" MANIFESTO Very little happens on Usenet without some sort of response from some other reader. Fun With Usenet postings are no exception. Since there are some who might question the rationale of some of the excerpts included therein, I have written up a list of guidelines that sum up the philosophy behind these postings. One. I never cut out words in the middle of a quote without a VERY good reason, and I never cut them out without including ellipses. For instance, "I am not a goob" might become "I am ... a goob", but thats too mundane to bother with. "Im flame proof" might (and has) become "Im ...a... p...oof" but thats REALLY stretching it. Two. If I cut words off the beginning or end of a quote, I dont put ellipses, but neither do I capitalize something that wasnt capitalized before the cut. "I dont think that the Church of Ubizmo is a wonderful place" would turn into "the Church of Ubizmo is a wonderful place". Imagine the posting as a tape-recording of the posters thoughts. If I can set up the quote via fast-forwarding and stopping the tape, and without splicing, I dont put ellipses in. And by the way, I love using this mechanism for turning things around. If you think something stinks, say so - dont say you dont think its wonderful. ... -- D. J. McCarthy (dmccart@cadape.UUCP)
