              .oO[ ONE EIGHTY SEVEN LYNCH MOB IN DA HOWZE! ]Oo.

The Senior Members of One Eighty Seven Lynch Mob regret the need to put out 
this textfile in response to a childish outburst from one of our disgruntled 
ex-Sysops.  The person we are referring to goes by the handle of Grifter 
(Sysop: The 11th Hour [415]).  We are sorry that this sort of local news was 
nonchalantly distributed to those for whom it has no concern.  We in turn 
feel a need to provide the correct information to the community.

This story began several months ago when Grifter approached us (187) and 
expressed an interest to join.  We negotiated to trade courier services for
3 ANSI files per month to be drawn by RedMan (ACiD), who is the Co-Sysop of 
The 11th Hour and also a well-known RIP artist.  After coordinating our 
couriers, we began to service The 11th Hour with 3 couriers.  We waited 
patiently for reciprocation for nearly 1 month, during which time we serviced 
(on average) 5O-75 megabytes per week.  After finally receiving 1 ANSI of 
inferior quality we decided to approach Grifter and question his understanding 
of our agreement.  After speaking with Grifter and waiting another week with 
no response, we contacted him again and informed him that he would be removed 
from services if he did not fulfill his obligation to our agreed terms.  We 
came to a joint conclusion with the reply from Grifter that his board would 
be removed from 187 Couriers with no further animosity.  This is yet one more 
agreement that this individual could not adhere to, hence the file 
187LAME.ZIP.  Included in this archive was a less than mature response, and 
an application for SPeCTRE Couriers.  Grifter used this archive to slander 
the name of 187 along with promoting his own affiliations.  We find this to 
be a feeble attempt to gain pity and sympathy with an over-exaggerated 
sob-story.

In conclusion, we the Senior Members of One Eighty Seven would like to 
sincerely apologize for bringing this matter to the eyes of the community, 
but we felt the need to express the real truth to the public.  People like 
this effect the community as a whole, they should not be trusted, and they 
should not be allowed the power and privilege of this medium of 
communication.

For those of you who have already had the pleasure of reading this intricate 
work of penmanship, you need not read furthur.


187 Couriers? A money scamming group or just another lame local group?

Well today (2/26/94 Sat.) I was dropped from 187 Couriers. One thing is these
guys can not be trusted!! They started out unorganized, and still unorganized!
It seemed like this group was started only to get there WHQ affiliations (Feed
Your Head). Anyhow let me start from the begining. The group started out as WE
WON'T CHARGE! Were just a free group helping to spread files to the community.
I thought to myself "hey this sounds like a good group.. I've seen there files
around". So I joined and was accepted. Couple weeks later some guy named
Azathoth called me up. He said he was the new recruit for 187. He also told me 
they were charging but not more than $50.00 or you can pay them with other 
things like Ansi's. There deal was that we provide them with a ansi every 
month for 187. ReDMaN was already hating this since he isn't too excited about  
warez. But somehow I convinced him to go along with it. And they were 
delivering about 20 megs a week. So ReDMaN made the ansi for them and quickly
uploaded it to The Eleventh Hour that weekend. They came and picked it up.
Then I never heard anything from them again. There courier wasn't uploading
more than a meg a week. One of my users who had just started out in the BBS
community of 415 was uploading more than they were! So that's how I knew that
they were still getting warez on there WHQ. So that ticked me off.. Then
yesterday Powdered Toast Man calls up saying that we have to pay? And the
price was $50.00?? What the fuck? First we provided them with the ansi and
didn't get shit in return. Second Azathoth said that they were gonna charge
less than $50.00! DAMN! So now I have Powdered Toast Man and Azathoth wanting
shit from us? Who's group is it really? Who is the one really in charge of it?
Oh yeah! Azathoth also told me that they only were gonna charge a small fee
to pay for couriers like Razor 1911, and Nexus and that they don't want to 
make any profit out of this? Well $50.00 a fuckin month even after we provided
them with a ansi? SHIT that sure sounds like they're out to make a profit. I
might as well of paid RiSC (a far better group than 187) to get warez. And
I would of actually had a courier that UPLOADED the shit. And Powdered Toast
Man said my board would be lame for being a group collector? Sure I have a 
couple small affiliations like ALiVE. But personally I like ALiVE! I like
the art the do (expecially Varaitions)! The only group that I probably ever
collected was probably 187! Took a chance on there fuckin small ass local
group. Well I'm sure glad I stuck with SPeCTRE Couriers and didn't bother
to join 187 as a member! You probably havne't heard of SPeCTRE Couriers but 
they're a new group that is about to start. They will be distrubting the files 
through the InterNet! They have there FTP all setup and headquarters all 
around the world. They charge just as much as 187 but you'll probably have 
more luck in SPeCTRE! Take a look at the NFO that i've included. Well that's 
all I have to say for now! 

                                            PEACE,
                                                The Grifter


Greets (hehehe had to include one of these!)

ReDMaN:Hey man sorry about getting you to do the fuckin 187 ansi. Fuck
       another lame group.

RaD MaN:Hey man wassup? Well just ignor any good things I said about 187 
        the last time we met. There just full of shit!

The Highlander:Come on! Let's get SPeCTRE moving and kick some fuckin ass!

Azathoth:Hey man, you were pretty cool and is way too good for 187. How about
         joining SPeCTRE? You might be a good asset...

One Thumb:Can't wait for that damn InterNet account! Well I'll talk to
          Highlander and try to get you in for InterNet help.

Terminator ][:Hey thanks for that awesome ansi in the ACiD Feb pack of '94!

D-Shot:Hey man! Here's ya fuckin greet! Lay off those BEANS! hehe =) 

Overkill:STOP fuckin CARDING! You've already been caught once, it ain't worth
         a second time.

Powdered Toast Man:All I can say to you is FUCK YOU! Your group ain't shit
                   and isn't doing shit. I might as well join a dead group.


One last thought from the desk of your favorite cool dudes of 187:


Hey Grifter.. Nice job destroying the English language.  Now who's the lamer?

-end of fun-
