| There is a little surprise in Phrack Loopback. Our old pal THE DICTATOR has | |
| been corresponding with Knight Lightning and myself over the nets. Yes, you | |
| heard right! Dale Drew, who played a key role in busting people during | |
| OPERATION SUN-DEVIL and spying on our friends at SummerCon '88 is back and | |
| believe it or not... he wants Phrack! And speaking of Operation Sun-Devil, | |

| boards and next issue we will have information about what YOU can do about it! | |
| Also, next issue watch for preliminary details for SummerCon '92!!! Will | |
| ESP be there again? | |
| Before the rumor mill starts churning again, I will clarify what is happening | |
| with Phrack management. Crimson Death has decided to retire from Phrack and | |
| start working on his new UNIX based BBS, CyberWaste! If you are interested in | |
| keeping in touch with Crimson Death, you may do so by writing: | |
| cdeath@GNU.AI.MIT.EDU for the time being. However, keep an eye out for the | |
| CyberWaste hostname; @DEMONSEED.COM! | |
| Well that's it for now. If you are going to the Second Conference on | |
| Computers, Freedom, & Privacy (a/k/a CFP-2) in Washington, D.C. (March 18-20, | |
| 1992), Knight Lightning and I will see you there! | |
