"To my friends in the scene, and those I don't even know"
Well, I know that the header looks cheesy, but what the fuck.
Anyway. I am sure that all of you have read all the little
text files floating around from Black SpyriT, Sought After, The
Eel, and others. Well, here is one to add to the collection.
I, "The Renegade Chemist" resign from the scene NOW. I have
had a real blast in the 4 or 5 years that I have been messing
around with computers and modems. And I have learned a lot, and
met a lot of great people. But I think that it is high time to
"hang it up" for reality.
I know it may sound really lame, but I am scared. I am not
even as big a figure as TNSHB or TGR or SI or BS, but I am really
truly afraid of getting caught in this game. Sure, I have enjoyed
it, starting from a lamer with the handle "Fletch Lives", moving
up towards a higher status in ModemLand. A lot of people have
helped me / hurt me on my way up, but all in all I appreciate all
of the criticisms, constructive and destructive.
Anyhow, I am cutting this short and to the point to save your
sanity ( after reading that 20k one from Sought After, hehe) ).
Black Light - Hey man, we had fun, didn't we? Let's hang out
sometime ( like we wouldn't, hehe ).
Chairman - Sorry that things are not going to work out with APeX.
I really would like to help, but things are getting too hot
for me. I suggest that you go back to the way Suburbia was,
and not worry about it either. I am sure I will see you soon.
Zodact - Funny how we met again after all those years ( well,
one or two anyway ). I wish that it could have been on
better circimstances for Razor at the time, but hey, life's
a bitch ( and the scene even moreso ). I know that we
will still talk alot and maybe I will even see you in college.
Maybe you can come down here for Spring Break, who knows.
Anyway, Razor 1911 ( at least the cracking part! ) was fun
while it lasted. Hopefully we can continue the tradition
in the real world.
Black SpyriT - Well man.. its been great working with you in
the past weeks, and hopefully we can continue in the future.
Need I say more?
Tarl Cabot - I feel like I owe you a lot, man. Out of nowhere
you showed up to help us out w/a courier system, and set it
up in record time. I appreciate all the hard work you put
in to make it work, and if you ever need a favor, just ask.
The task you are taking on yourself of organizing ( hmm.. )
right now is a great one, but not impossible. I wish you
luck, but one thing - be careful, my friend. It's really
not worth it. Talk to you soon.
Force Ten - Well, SDA has been good to me, and I appreciate all
of the work that you and the top members have put into it.
Also, TCSNet is and will always be the best pirate network
( in my eyes... ). Good luck with Revelation. Also, if you
see an ANSi done by me that says "SDA" on it every now and
then, well, I don't want to get bored.
The Master - Well dude. What to say. You were there in CWF
from the beginning, and I appreciate that. You're a good
guy, and I hope that you and Rick can get it together with
Revelation and TCSNet. Sorry being a Razor 1911 courier
did not work out for you, but I think that you took a bet-
ter path anyway. Good luck.
Prizm - Yeah, Yeah. Even you. I know that we had a falling
out not that far back, and I am sincerely sorry for anything
that I said or did to piss you off. I know that some of the
things I said were totally unnecessary and uncool, but you
still have a short fuse. Take it easy, man.
Sicko ( NOT of The BoG! ) - Well man. I know that you probab-
ly think that I dicked you over, and that's fine. I really
did not intend to, but that is the way that it worked out
in the end. The pirate world is a brutal place, no? Anyhow,
wish you luck with your wife and hope there will be lots
of little Sickos running around real soon.
Intrepid - Bastard with Rush tickets. Oh well. Keep up your
programming, you really have talent. Don't forget that.
Chat w/ya sometime soon.
LL Cool J - Hey dude. You have been a good friend for months
now, and I appreciate you letting me leech megs and megs
'o shit off of ABC to satisfy my wares-hunger ( especially
at 2400 baud for a while! hehe ). I am sure I will still
talk to you. Take it easy.
X-Terminator - Hey, didn't talk to you very much, but you
seemed a cool guy. Don't get busted doing anything dumb,
and get plenty of pussy. Later man.
CrackSmith - Well Drew. I only talked to you a few times, and
me and Freddy and you all chowed down at that Chinese place.
Hey, pretty good food. We should go again sometime. While
I know that we did not really get along real well in the
scene, it doesn't have to be that way outside of it.
Cool Hand - We had a lot of our differences out on the boards,
and I relished all of the exchanges that took place. It was
a lot of fun, but that's all it was, so don't take any of
that crap personally. Later man, and remember you have a
family to worry about.
The Unknown - Traitor ( hehe ). Good luck as the best INC
courier around. But don't do it after you get a license and
a car. Women are better.
Merlin - You and I were once good friends, and recently I
tried to open my mind and once again become your friend.
However, it seems my first judgement was right - you are
nothing but a spoiled and immature brat, and will never be
any more until someone slaps you in the face and wakes you
up.
Stiletto - Hey man, sorry that your status as a Razor courier
didn't last too long. But I am sure that I will have a
chance to talk to you about that sometime. Later, man.
Mad Hatter ( of iCE-TNO ) - Heh. Thanks for that informative
email the other day. Have a good one, man.
Old CWF crew - Well guys. Sorry to have let you down back
then, and best of luck in the future.
Hyperion - Didn't talk to you a whole lot, but from when I
did, you seemed like a great guy. I am sorry about what
happened, and I sincerely hope that you are better off in
the future. Good luck.
The Elemental - We have had our differences in the past, but
Cypher really is great software. Good luck.
The Weeze - Hehe. Kinda funny that this should happen right
after I drop you my voice number and such so that we could
work together on some pics. Anyway, keep up the good work
and take it easy man. If you are still interested, gimme
a ring.
Freddy Krueger - Well Sean, we had our good times and our bad
times, and I'm sorry I didn't grab that drive from you. Per-
haps some other unknowing soul will be taken for it :).
Spread - Met ya on Revelation, and you run a great board. You
will probably still find me leeching on there every now and
then. Take it easy, man.
All the old Razor team, friends in the scene that I may have
forgotten, and hell with it even people I don't know -
Take it easy dudes, and remember that the scene is a big
game. To quote Zodact, "The scene is a game, but when the
game gets to the point that you either win on a release or
get thrown in jail, it gets too risky." Also remember
that these computers were not originally designed for what
we use them for a lot of the time - learn something useful,
make this expensive hardware worth the money you shelled
out for it.
Goodbye, all!
