- to 'tell you How to be a cyberpunk'. Maybe you need a definiton of FAQ it

- Maybe you should try reading it before you look like an ass..
- No where in it do I even suggest it is 'How to be a cyberpunk'
- It sounds like you don't even know what a FAQ is.. it is literally a
- Frequently Asked Questions list.. It gives people who don't
- have any Idea what cp is a chance to catch up a bit.. and my faq in
- particular offers a resource guide to some items that are characteristic of
- the genre..for those who want to read a little more than Gibson 1 thru 3.
-
- 'Who the fuck am I to say whats of interest' you ask.. I'm the one who
- says what _I_ think is of interest. If its not of interest to you then
- dont read the damn thing! It is certainly of interest to some people
- as I have been putting it out (after ahawks initial work on it) for
- some time now and you are the only person to think I am 'taking the
- piss' whatever the hell that means.
-
- Homie don't play that!
