Wow. This is an intriguing idea.

alt.slack.hate
alt.slack.slack
alt.slack.kook-hate
alt.slack.kook-love
alt.slack.gossip
alt.slack.orthodox
alt.slack.reformed
alt.slack.binaries.multimedia.connie
alt.slack.bats.antidote-pudding
alt.slack.pils-ERS
alt.slack.rec.music.drs4bob-theory
alt.slack.bobsightings-uk-leeds
etc....

eventually it would spread so thin that it would diffuse into a fine mist
and evaporate back into the aether from whence it came -- and we would be
FREE.

Alas, life is never as we wish. Instead, we get:

alt.slack
alt.binaries.slack
alt.slack.eraserhead.
alt.sex-hello-kitty
alt.bogus.group
and of course the loosely associated alt.fan.zoogz-rift.
And that's just so far.

heh. Dream on. NHGH got you to buy that new compooter, you think you're
gonna escape that easy? Turn on the TV (that's the compooter with a
keyboard, remember?) and find a nature show with time lapse movies of
mycelium growing (that's mushrooms). Them little fibers creep into every
little crack and just fill everything up. THAT is what the net is doing.

Soon you'll be doing "radio shows" live online, with audio, video and text
mixed. 24 hours a day. You'll know you're forever in the clutches of the net
when you decide the open air broadcast is TOO SLOW and TOO SMALL A
BANDWIDTH.

Why do you think I wore the Second Hat of Banishment at Cleveland?
The antennae weren't just a gimmick.

I was wearing A CELLULAR MODEM AND AN RS-232 HAT BAND.

Soon, there won't be any reason to leave the virtual for the "real".
MWOWM doesn't NEED your brain, but it WANTS it none the less.

Give in, Stang. We've used up Bill Gates. We need a new father figure.
All he ever wanted to conquer was the world. You don't think that small.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, look at
alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb. I'm not kidding. It's almost as bad
as alt.cuddle.
