Title: The True Story of the InterNet







The True Story of the InterNet

Part II


WebWorld & the Mythical 'Circle of Eunuchs'


by Arnold


Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997 Pearl Publishing


Appendix


History:

Part I of "The True Story of the InterNet," entitled,
"The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre" was written by the Author,
but left incomplete by his unexpected death.
The Epilogue to Part I was written by Bubba D'Shauneaux.

Part II of "The True Story of the InterNet" was completed
in what might be called "finished-outline form" by the
Author before his death, with copius notes left behind as to the
nature of "moving events" which would need to be addressed
ad hoc during the release of the manuscript.
The manuscript was completed as a group effort by the individuals
who form the core of characters who are the protagonists in Part
II.

Non-Disclaimer:

Although many of the events (and some of the characters) contained
in the manuscripts which comprise "The True Story of the
InterNet" are allegorical, all references to the activities
and events in the Author's life, up to the date of publication,
are based totally on verifiable fact.
Although some of the events and connections attributed to the
Author may seem outlandish or contrived, rest assured that they
are not considered to be so by those who actually knew him. He
lived a life which was unusual, to say the least, and absolutely
no embellishment was, or is, needed, in order to to make his personal
story more compelling or realistic.

InterNet/WWW Hosting of "True Story of the InterNet"
Manuscripts:

The manuscripts may be placed on any InterNet or Worldwide Web
Site without restriction, as long as they remain intact, with
all appropriate credits and copyrights, and it is done for non-profit
purposes only.
Those hosting the manuscripts may, if they wish, adjoin their
own additions to the remaining space in the WebWorld Chapter 25
Stego (hopefully doing so within the theme of the work).  All
additions shall be deemed to be covered under Pearl Publishing's
copyright of the manuscript.

Acknowledgments:

A wide variety of individuals have worked toward the completion
and dissemination of the "True Story of the InterNet"
manuscripts since the beginning of their release in 1989.
To date, none of them have asked for acknowlegment, in any way,
shape, or form. 

While there may be cynics who maintain that this may be due to
the multitude of problems sometimes experienced by those whose
participation in the release of the manuscripts has become known,
or suspected, my personal perception is that the people involved
are quite simply acting out of what they see as a need for the
manuscripts to be given exposure, regardless of the level of reception
the works receive.

Acknowlegments are in order, however, for those who make it worthwhile
for those involved in the dissemination of the manuscripts to
give their time and effort in this cause.
And who is it that makes the effort worthwhile? It is the individual
who is beset by the same trials and tribulations as the average
person, but who nevertheless strives to rise above the hardship
and discrimination that results from swimming against the tide
of humanity currently being swept along by the dark forces who
direct and control both the mediums through which we communicate
with one another and the societal and legislative regulations
which govern those mediums.
It is the individual who fights against the constant barrage of
information and disinformation, at every turn, which seeks to
mold them into a small cog in a collective, subservient mindset
that worships the ten-second sound byte, the party line, and the
group reality.
It is the individual who struggles to maintain a private island
of intellect, rationality and integrity, in the face of seemingly
overwhelming forces which struggle daily to subdue him or her,
and bring them into subjection to the enemy of all humanity-robotic
acceptance of an unlimited authority which claims to have the
right to exercise dominion over the rights, freedoms, and personal
conscience of the individual.

These individuals are scattered across the face of the earth-alone,
in small groups, throughout networks of people who work in concert,
and in the secret places, working furtively, in constant fear
of discovery by those who are threatened by their ideals and their
actions.

Those involved in the dissemination of Part II of "The True
Story of the InterNet" have agreed that acknowledgment for
the distribution of "WebWorld & The Mythical Circle of
Eunuchs" should go to those who currently manifest many of
the qualities of the Author's allegorical "Magic Circle."
