-=> Mocking Chris Maddock to Kurt Wismer <=-
CM> VIRUS originated (now lets see if I get this the right way around!) in
CM> Europe and the VIRUS_INFO conference originated as Zone1's answer to
CM> the temerity of someone else starting a conference that wasn't in
CM> Zone1. :)
that sounds SO believable...
it didn't start in one of those "southern" states, did it?
KW> of course my own experience does support it.. back when edwin cleton was
KW> around, the pro-virus guys were a lot more prevailent and a lot more
KW> vocal... rather suggestive of the vx crowd grudgingly giving up their
KW> place here...
CM> They were much more vocal - and organised. The Vx crowd was always
which sets me to thinking... do you suppose that the current level of
disorganization and lack of communication of innovations could spell a
"vx darkages" when the current generation finally grows up and finds
more interesting things to do?
CM> looking for a forum to have their discussions and it never happened on
CM> any scale until NUKE_THEWORLD got going and then VIRUS_NFO. It seems
CM> getting one's own echo was always the answer and we told them that -
CM> often. In the meanwhile, there was friction between the AV crowd and
CM> the Vx crowd in the two existant echoes.
of course now, blatantly and offensively pro-virus views are against the
rules and offenders are subject to banishment... and traffic is WAY
down...
KW> well, i have no complaints about him either... and i don't recall any
KW> previous moderator inspiring such fanfare...
KW> i do have complaints about the fanfare though, but that's not really
KW> worth going into it's such a minor thing...
CM> Eggzactly. Thats old age creeping up on you Kurt. You get more
CM> tolerant as you get ancient.
i'm ancient? i'm still under the quarter century mark...
... don't scan this tagline, it has the 141$flu...
