hkk@netcom.com is on the job again. I FINALLY received her little
e-mail missive. SP Fo' at last, SP Fo' at last, thank god allmighty,
SP Fo' at last!
The funniest thing about the letter was the salutation: Dear Cuthulu.
Surely there is a more appropriate form of address for an Elder God.
I prefer 'Great Dreaming One.'
Here is the relevant portion and my response, posted here and mailed
to Helena Kobrin:
:It is essential that you take immediate and effective action
:to remove the unauthorized copy from the Internet, and that you
:refrain from any repetition of this or similar acts in the
:future. You are also to delete these and any other OT materials
:from your hard drive and any floppy disks and to destroy any hard
:copies you have made.
I have removed the unauthorized copy from the Internet, per your
request -- It should never trouble you again. If you do see a copy on
the Intenet again, please inform me, as that would represent a bug in
my Master Internet Control Interface (MICI) v2.3. If the bug
persists, I'll probably have to shut this copy of the Internet down
and start a new one. That would be an expensive proposition, and,
since you have requested it, perhaps RTC would share the cost.
I long since removed the material you refer to from my hard drive and
floppies, and I have no printed hard copies. Just in case my software
was archiving them without my knowledge, I searched thoroughly and
purged all articles I posted to alt.religion.scientology from my
system. They were flushed like mammoth turds to the Unix Sewer, a
fate they richly deserved, since I am a miserable writer compared to
others here. I've taken these steps even though notification by
e-mail of your position does not constitute any binding or official
legal notice. In return, I ask that you verify the legitimacy of all
your allegedly copyrighted and registered trade secret materials by
posting them all to alt.religion.scientology under RTC's authority so
that I and others may know exactly what we are forbidden to post.
Further, I specifically reserve the right to post any material found
in official, public court documents to any newsgroup I choose.
sincerely,
