%HISTORY OF TNS%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
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.
