- 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."

- 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.
