Message-ID: <3223b30d.56554c43414e@vulcan.xs4all.nl> Subject: About Vorlon and the NOTs Date: Wed, 28 Aug 1996 01:46:37 -0100 From: johanw@vulcan.xs4all.nl (Johan Wevers) Organization: Vulcan Academy of Sciences Newsgroups: nl.scientology, alt.religion.scientology, alt.religion.scientology.xenu, alt.clearing.technology Dear netters, As most people who read these groups probably know, the NOTs were reposted last week from the fake account vorlon@space.b5, which used xs4all as nntp host. After a lot of pressure from the sect xs4all has decided to give them the name and adress of the user who posted them. I was that user. As many other users, I obtained a copy of these documents in May 1996 on the net. I've had previous disagreements with scientology about the NOTs: I had the parts of them which had appeared in Scamizdat on my homepage for a while, and after complains I had them replaced by NOT34, one of the most despicable of them. After being persuaded by my provider to remove them, and growing more and more irritated by the behaviour of the sect on internet (the flooding of ars with other copyrighted scieno stuff, their illegal cancels, the legal threats against critics), I decided to repay them the favor by reposting the NOTs, hoping this would teach them a more civil behaviour on internet. Judging the reactions of their lawyers, at least I've got them rather angry. I hope this action did something to reduce their cyberterrorism. If (or better, when) they react, I'll let you know.
