- ** WHO ARE WE? **
-
- We've been asked "who are you guys?" Well, the guys are not all guys, and
- sexism sucks. The people who put out pirate are mostly IBMers with some apple
- and ST influences. We're a loose collective, mostly from the midwest, but with
- contributors from around the country. Collectively, we're on probably all of
- the good national boards, and those listed as "contact points" are not
- necessarily those we frequent the most, but those we like a lot and where we
- check in at least once every few weeks. Our goal is to try to provide news of
- general interest to *all* BBS enthusiasts, share information and gossip, and to
- give newcomers tips on how not to be lame. We hope this will improve BBSing for
- everybody. We are committed to keeping information free to the people, and we
- oppose control of knowledge by an elite few. As warez hobbyits, we believe that
- knowledge of current software is of benefit to the software industry despite
- their claim that sharing is unethical. We also believe that informed consumers
- make for better products, and that sharing information on warez is a patriotic
- and democratic duty.
-
- As some may notice, the format of *PIRATE* changes each issue, for the better,
- we hope. We have noticed some *PIRATE* files listed as g-philes on some boards,
- so we thought it might be helpful to include an index periodically of previous
- issues:
