YOUR FIRST DESPERADO
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Here is the motto of Desperado, and also the conditions that prevail
(some might call them rules, but not me).
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MOTTO
I stay cool, and dig all jive,
That's the way I stay alive.
My motto, as I live and learn, is
"Dig and be dug in return."
-- Langston Hughes

OFTEN ROWDY, BUT NEVER RAW, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT

Somehow or other, your name has gotten added to the Desperado mailing list.
Desperado is an electronic rag that I send around the net from time to
time to several hundred Digital desperados from Australia to Sweden,
and even in Marlboro. Everyone on the list is there by request.
(There are also lots of forwards, secondary and tertiary desperados,
but I don't know about them.)
The thing consists of whatever interests me on the day I send it out.
It's about half humor, half rumor, and half miscellaneous
clusterdness. Most of it is mail I've gotten from other people. Some
of it is mail from me. Feel free to comment on anything, but if you
want the original sender to hear your views, you should send them mail
direct, in addition to whatever you send to me. I can't use everything
that's sent to me, but lots of discussions that start in Desperado
continue off line.
Everything in between strings of vertical bars (octal ASCII 174, | )
is written by me, along with the headlines, and all the pretty
decorations.
Submissions from NEMO:: are anonymous. Most are from people who don't
want their names published for whatever reason. Sometimes I decide
that your name should be left off for your own protection. Some
NEMO:: submissions are from me.
I don't forward everything that is sent in. I rarely forward the
heavily forwarded stuff unless it's too good to pass up. Except for
submissions from NEMO::, everything else in Desperado comes
approximately as is from the person who sent it, although I usually
try to correct spellings and grammar. Don't send me anything that
looks like you wrote it yourself unless you wrote it yourself. As for
my part, I often cut submissions down, but I don't put words in your
mouth. I do save everything interesting that comes my way, whether I
forward it or not. Information on these archives of network life is
available on request.
I send out a Desperado when I can. If you send me something with a
date or time in it, I may miss your deadline. Too bad, huh?
Desperado, once a underground benefit for DEC employes, now goes all
over the place, so let's all be discreet and not tell anybody about
the Hydra project, okay? Off-DEC readers: We can't make any
promises about regularity. On the other hand, for on-DEC readers:
We can't make any promises about regularity.
It's usually not this boring.
