ANONYMOUS JONES'
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #57
HISTORY LESSON
We here at the Anonymous Jones Headquarters are often
questioned by curious people who wonder where the Australian
Emigration Newsletter came from and why it focuses on
Australia in particular as an Emigration Target. "Why
not Bulgaria," they ask, "or Lithuania, or Seattle?"
For those of you new to the Newsletters, we will explain
that the idea originated about two years ago in a
correspondence between ourselves, Anonymous Jones, and
a rather pleasant person calling herself *Gentle* Kate, on
Science Fiction Writer's Net BBS in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. (Still up at 919-922-3308, by the way...) We had
been very unhappy about the way our life was going and
generally grumping around in the SFWN message base. Kate
called our bluff and challenged us to DO something about
it. The rest is history; from Kate's brief remarks has
grown the foundation of our present Anonymous quasi-fame
and nearly widespread semi-popularity. We hope you have
enjoyed our efforts and will try not to bore you in future
editions; and when YOU emigrate to Australia, please take
your copies of the Newsletter with you and spread them
around. Report any efforts by the locals to lynch or deport
you, so we'll know to avoid those areas of Australia when WE
finally emigrate there ourselves!
