   [x] Hello, My Fellow Couriers and Other People from Various Counterparts of the scene.
       My name is grind, and I felt like I should write a little report about what is going
       on today in the courier or trading scene as most people know it. This report is based
       solely on facts, there are no biased opinions. We abide by the Rubrick method of grading
       sites, based on how fast a release reaches the site. The site that gets releases the 
       fastest on an average of one day of releases, will be rated best. Being that releases
       are spread to many sites, which are not as fast as some of the faster ones, these 
       slower sites will generally be less considered. 

       Now, For the site listings.

       4x The Number of Megabytes Couriered to The Top Sites (1st Level)
       3x The Number of Megabytes Couriered to The Top Sites (2nd Level)
       2x The Number of Megabytes Couriered to The Top Sites (3rd Level)

       The sites are picked based upon what couriers believe are the best sites. Of course not
       every courier shares the same belief, but expression of beliefs in AFC is perfectly fine.
       If a site deserved to be in the site listing below, Feel free to mail grind0r@yahoo.com
       and name the site, and show a weektop as well.

       Sites are listed in Acronym Form to Protect The Innocent, Sites with a * instead of a 
       full acronym are extremely private, and will not be fully disclosed.

      Whats gone on this week that concerns the couriering scene?

      - A new site called EB, Echo Base is up, Lets see if it will be added to 
        our charts

      - Hiv of Esprit made a directory on a site with the ip of a very popular
        European Site.  This site was temporarily shutdown for security reasons,
        but it is now back up and rocking.

      - Something bad must've happened in Finland, because when weektops were 
        collected, RDX and VDR were down. Those sites should surely be added to
        our charts next week

      - Actual Factual Charting Issue #1 is released. This means that a #2 issue
        will probably follow next week :)
 
      - Angels on Drugs (AOD) traded amazingly this week. They had nearly 10 traders
        on AFC weektops, as well as being the #1 group in both the 4x/3x/2x site
        sections. Keep up the great work AOD.

     
      : This issue now comes to a close. I would like to thank Siim, Madboy, Sketch,
        and sqz for collecting weektops, and creating some nice art for AFC. Look foward
        to AFC Issue #2 next week, with more sites added, and Group Profiles for the week.
      
      : Final Note - If you would like to contribute to Actual Factual Couriering, then 
                     please do not hesitate to email grind0r@yahoo.com stating how you 
                     would like to help.   - grind
