- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
-
-
- The Tolmes News Service started out as just a series of posts on P-80
- Information Systems. It was originally entitled "Hugo World News" (as a satire
- of Knight Lightning's "Phrack World News".) The first fifteen or so issues
- of TNS are repeats of previously posted articles. NOTICE: The articles in TNS
- arezines, news reports, etc. They are being typed out. All of the articles
- listed will also show the date and the magazine/newspaper/etc. in which the
- article first appeared. The file will usually also display the reporter who
- wrote the article for the certain magazine/newspaper/etc. Anything noted as an
- "NOTES ON THE ARTICLE:" is my own opinion of the article. NOTA will also do
- some explaining of the article for persons who did not understand. One other
- thing that NOTA will do is to correct any errors in the article. I hope that
- NOTA will clarify points that were expressed in the article.
-
- At the beginning of every issue (except for a few with only 1 thing) there will
- be a short index of what articles are being put in the issue. The index will
- show the original title of the article as it appeared in the newspaper/etc.
- The index will be followed by a few short notes by yours truly on the state
- of affairs in the BBS world and any current events.
-
- Some issues will only have one article within them... while other issues might
- have five or six different articles. Remember, TNS just types out articles
- from the press that are of interest to the phreak/hacker.
-
- The first few issues will go back a while (not as far as Sandza and all of
- that 414 crap). The articles are placed in no specific order.. they're just put
- together without any reason......
-
- After the first fifteen or so issues are put out, the next issues will be
- out every month or so. This newsletter will not (not yet anyway) print news of
- busted phreaks that did not come out of the media. This is to prevent certain
- persons from spreading lies and rumors. Certain posts from BBS's will be used
- and other information from BBS's will be used. Articles (that have not been
- written by myself) will not have any comments inserted. Some articles will be
- edited and other articles will have only certain parts used. Information that
- would be of no interest to the reader will be deleted. Useless, false, or
- boring information will be explained afterward in NOTA (Notes On The Article).
-
- This magazine (if you could call it that) might have some interviews,
- transcripts of certain television broadcasts, and radio broadcasts in the
- form of articles.
-
- Information from outside sources may not always be verified. In all cases
- where it can be verified, any information that is false, misleading,
- or useless will be edited out/deleted. The information held within cannot be
- verified in many instances, but articles will be edited for material
- that may be used as propaganda. Anything found (by myself) to be
- misleading/bad/false/partially useless will have an explanation in NOTA.
-
- All information is meant for information purposes only. This series
- of issues is a NEWS magazine and is not meant to be used for any type of
- illegal exploit or stupid shenanigans. Remember, this is NEWS on the
- phreak/hack world. I claim absolutely no responsibility for anything within
- this on-line magazine.
