Title: The True Story of the InterNet

The True Story of the InterNet
Part II

WebWorld & the Mythical 'Circle of Eunuchs'

by Arnold

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."
