Reply to Doc NP-f31.txt
Hello Doc,
I am glad we could reach one another... Thank you for your promt answer and for giving me a chance to know a little bit more about a situation well described in your message concerning your role, something that I didn't really perceived before.
....
You had that interrogation:
"But I have a question about that: Your Google Groups solution doesn't help those with the password situation that anyone will have when they stumble upon a new group. How will those newcomers who abide by the rules and follow the White Rabbit down the hole find the promised land? The trail from there to here is twisted and has many turnings and codes and methods of encryption. As of now, the only people who can find you are the ones who've been able to keep up. Even I am sometimes on a cold trail for a few days after a move. How do deserving newcomers get the info they need. You need a password to get a password, if you catch my meaning."
You are totally right.
but...
The password that Jimmy used here before had been made available very openly in this group by him and others. The famous CH thing...
The password used by Cos-mos (do I ever like the 70's!!!) and later by me was also given here in an open text file.
I then made a shift elsewhere to let the place to it's founder, but not without giving the necessary informations about where to find me and the new password to those who had already that password in hand.
I purposedly made the finding of that group and the new password a bit unusual to make sure nobody was going to stumble accidentally on them.
I also wanted to provide some fun and excitement to those who were willing to put a couple minute of their time to find it (like a short digital treasure hunt)
Finally, those who made it partially had also the chance to be helped (sometimes a bit roughly... but nevertheless) either by other lurkers or by me in the other group where I am now posting.
You and I and everybody know what has happened in the past to some other posters. The measures I have taken are not meant to create a secluded exchange group (like the ones you were referring to in your message) but instead to distillate those who are really "craving for it" from the rest of the lurkers and also to give all the necessary information without giving it directly.
...
That said, I trust your judgement if you decide to share the "new" group information. Just try to avoid the strange new black bird flying around, or at least, teach him some good Netiquette if you happen to know him :-)
Thanks for reading me.
