EOTW - Newsletter

Just received this newsletter from EOTW. I found it 'weird' that my name is in bold as the name of the magazine. Has any one else received it that has noticed the same thing?

Jane Mag Article Transcript

Sure enough, page 62 of the April, 2003, issue of Jane has a little article at the bottom about the Ong's Hat "time travel cult."

Quote:
A Target-Marketing Success Story

I got really into this "time-travel cult" called Ong's Hat when a computer-game programmer I know told me she was contacted by a physics scholar who said that a bunch of her recent games reflected their canon. This dude told my friend that someone from Ong's Hat had befriended her and inspired her to create certain games without her realizing it. Whoa, right? I started researching them on the Internet and mailed off $18 for Ong's Hat: The Beginning, a typo-riddled yet super-fun book explaining their "clandestine" beliefs (a bunch of LSD-popping physicists figured out interdimensional travel through a portal in New Jersey's Pine Barrens in the 1970s, among other things). Anyway, 85 years after it should have, it dawned on me that the whole thing is probably a hoax. "The split between who believes the book is fiction vs. nonfiction is pretty even," says the nice but evasive author, Joseph Matheny. It's too bad--I think we all want to believe in scientists who party.

--Kate Hambrecht


I'll try to scan it later, if possible.

did anyone notice the box in the right corner of the letter. It is asking for witnesses. It seems that we need to create a new account and give out a witness testimony.

How? Unless we describe the news video (old news) then we weren't witnesses. I wouldn't try this.

A new email address.

The EOTW site has changed since the disc image.

Wes has a new address for the newsletter,
eotwnewsletterSPLATaglauranj.org
And it autoresponds with the newsletter instantly.

Wes' old email, eotwSPLATagluaranj.org is still bouncing email.

Another note, as this is the first time I got the newsletter via email,
his whole message is as a text attachment, showing the MIME (I think?)
base64 encoding of the zip file.

I've yet to construct it to make it the same because I don't have a copy
of office handy to install.
