                                 EDITORIAL
     =================================================================

     Last week was such a busy week, I totally forgot all about the new
     column I promised the week before that, i.e. counting down to our 20th
     anniversary with something from the Snooze ten years ago, but this
     week we're back to normal again, with no contributions what-so-ever.

        For this week's 1994 column, I picked a piece, that seems to
     indicate everything was not all that polite and friendly in our e-zine
     by that time...

     =================================================================

     ARTSPEC II: Additions and Revisions to ARTSPEC.DOC
     Dennis McClain-Furmanski, 1:275/429

     The following is a list of additions and revisions to ARTSPEC.DOC, the
     Fidonews submission guidelines. These have been compiled by noting the
     traffic in this publication.

     [Note for the irony impaired: this is satire. Do not paste it into
     ARTSPEC. Honest, ARTSPEC.DOC does exist. Really.]

     - Grammar and spelling flames are allowed. Forget the fact that
     virtually every echo on the backbone disallows them either explicitly
     or implicitly. Fidonews is special in that we can waste your time and
     disk space, and you have no recourse but to add to the useless traffic
     with your appended complaints. This of course is NOT allowed with
     regards to submissions from those poor unfortunates in less developed
     countries like Europe. They can't help it they can't talk good. Come
     on, impress us with your high school grammar training. Heaven forbid
     that people should pay attention to what someone means. We have to
     distract everyone with how it was said.

     - Say the same things over and over. We have not had complaints of
     censorship in every issue. It doesn't matter that it proves you have
     no concept of what that word really means, or that we have none about
     what it means to reject useless garbage from Fidonews. Just because
     you don't know what your rights are doesn't mean some sneaky
     government is going to come along and steal the real rights. And since
     you're not likely to ever really meet any of the people who will read
     any of this much less get to know them, there is no way anyone will
     ever know you're only interested in perpetuating infantile behavior
     and wouldn't dream of mentioning the words First Amendment in front of
     anyone you actually know. Besides, you have a RIGHT to be, stay and
     act ignorant. So send along those repeats, no matter how wrong. Hey,
     you proved masturbation won't make you go blind, and you still do it,
     right? The only differences is we won't give you blisters for
     overdoing it.

     - Use profanity liberally. No, it doesn't make you ignorant. But
     continuing to do what some people have asked you nicely not to (even
     if some others asked you NOT so nicely) does make you a jerk just as
     bad as those who would control your speech. If you want to be right,
     you need to be as wrong as they are. Again, we don't follow the same
     kinds of rules that echos do; they have nothing to do with Fidonews.
     You may freely insult anyone in any fashion you wish here. We suggest
     you do so interspersed with justifications for your action. Quoting
     others' justifications is a good way to get this done without actually
     having to think up reasons yourself. Remember, intelligent people use
     profanity too. Being smart is no reason to have to use the smarts or
     to make any kind of effort, and you don't really care how you look to
     others. We don't. No, it's much more important for you to force people
     to see the language that you can't use in many other places but
     wouldn't even consider complaining about in those situations.
     FIDONEWS 21-23               Page 3                    7 Jun 2004


     - Complain about the profanity liberally. You know it won't work, but
     don't let that stop you. You too have a right to bang your head on a
     wall. You have just as much right to have a 'family oriented'
     publication as the others do to freedom from censorship. No matter
     neither of you can prove your rights because they don't exist. We want
     job security. As long as you insist on getting your way and the ones
     that want to impress us with their limited vocabulary do too, we'll
     have it. We need you to waste our time also

     - DO NOT mention religion. This is not allowed as it causes too much
     upset among the members. This is not censorship any more than
     disallowing profanity would be, but it's the way we do things here. We
     get too many negative response articles, and after all, this is your
     newsletter; we print what you want to see. We have entirely different
     reasons for this decision than we do for the decision regarding
     profanity. Contradictory? That's OK, we subscribe to the International
     Ethic of Hypocrisy in Print. We're working on being the cover story of
     their next issue. Again we say, this is your newsletter.

     - Reply, rereply, rerereply. Never act, only react. It's too hard to
     think of something new to talk about. Besides, you don't care about
     anything except if you don't like what someone says about it, or how
     they say it. And use quote markers to prove that this is an echo
     instead of a newsletter. It makes your whining oh so much more
     colorful. You might have the attention span it would take to say
     something cogent without having to cue yourself every three lines, but
     nobody else does. Anything else would be like writing, which is work.
     Use that echomail technology. Remember, never make a point, just
     destroy someone else's.

     - In order to keep traffic up here in Fidonews, don't do anything
     positive about any problem, technical or otherwise. If someone
     actually did start using a new format of nodelist or whatever we'd
     have nothing to print. So don't do anything, just complain. So much
     the better if you can coherently state your point and show that you
     actually know enough about the problem to do something about it. If
     you'll only complain, this will set a good example for others'
     non-action.

     - Get real angry and show it. If there's something you don't like,
     don't just say so, scream at the top of your ASCII. After all, this is
     your livelihood, you life, your sole reason for existence. If you
     stopped and took time to think, you might either calm down and figure
     it's not worth the effort (which it isn't, but keep those cards and
     letters coming!), or you might actually make a good point and shut up
     some misguided soul. No, we'd much prefer that Fidonews be the Flame
     echo. You didn't think that 'newsletter' meant it was for news, did
     you?

     - Don't just propose, DEMAND, that XXXXX.XXX be the new standard.
     These things must change frequently, and at as much cost as possible.
     After all, cost doesn't matter. We all have too much money. We know
     this because nobody would have the insane idea to actually pay the
     shareware fees for six different archive programs to satisfy the whims
     of the endless numbers of micromanagers who insist on making people do
     things their way instead of sticking to something that works fine, or

     to pay for that new mailer or BBS every year, since you know you're
     not really going to use it forever, so you're just trying it out this
     year. If you can steal it, so can they. That way they can afford a new
     machine every six months, since the new software will require it.
     Nobody needs to have any commitments or any life outside Fidonet
     anyway. Cha-ching.

     - Ignore all of these. You ignore the rest of ARTSPEC anyway, and we
     do too sometimes. Good reasons with logical bases are, after all, only
     guidelines. Remember our motto: Newspapers should have no rules. Well,
     except maybe only rules we can apply only when we feel like it and
     ignore the rest of the time.

     If this fails to anger someone, I'm sorry, I'll get to you next time.
     Feel free to dislike the words, but you can't blame me for the
     circumstances and behaviors I observe.

     =================================================================

                            How to Submit an Article

     If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
     are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
     method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
     will appear in the Fidonews:

     a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
        probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.

     b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
        time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
        the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
        format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
        the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
        your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
        may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
        personal comments.

     c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC.

     Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
     and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
     file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
     extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
     on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

     If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
     in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
     of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
     sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
     article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
     can not fix and I need your help on it.

     Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

              Björn Felten
     Fidonet  2:2/2
     E-Mail   bfelten @ telia dot com

     IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
                word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
                will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
                folder.

     Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
     That way I will know to look for it.
