Subject: DC:Crisis on Infinite Postings
Organization: Boston Business Computing, Ltd.
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1992 04:27:50 GMT

It is obvious that the DC Crisis is much more far-reaching than anyone
has yet considered.

I postulate that there are "time waves" washing forward from the
beginning of time.  Each wave causes changes in the Universe As We Know
It.

These waves are so powerful that they actually affect our physical
world.  The subtle effect is that every two or three months someone
on the net will raise the issue about who remembers the Crisis.

Many people will voice their opinions.  Most of the opinions will be
the exactly same yet filled with a sense of "Hey!  I think I just
remembered that the Psycho Pirate remembered..."  There will also
be occasional, "Shazams", "JCs", "Ambush Bugs (but he doesn't count)",
and "Harbingers".

The postings will continue for weeks until the time wave subsides.
Then most people will forget that they ever posted anything.  Or
they may be replaced by evil duplicates.  It is hard to tell.

Only a few posters of a prolific or mystical bent will remember that
there ever were previous postings at all.  And a few who have been
around since the dawn of the net may have dim memories of a subject
that has been repeatedly beaten into the ground since 1986.

Why was I writing this?  I don't remember.

Very good. I like your hypothesis. DC is too much like Marvel when it
comes to killing off money makers. It's just too bad Superman won't

This is it, people.  Rec.arts.comics is to be rmgrouped tomorrow.
Of course, the newsgroup is not going to disappear overnight.
The way these things work, it will have a long lingering death,
not unlike Sebastian Melmoth's.  But the death blow is given
tomorrow.

Someone should write an epitaph for r.a.c.  Preferably someone with
more experience with it (and better memory!) than me.

Meanwhile, I recall the names of all the people I've met who have made
r.a.c. such an great place to learn about comics and discuss them.
People like Jeff Meyer (Professor Moriarty), Tom Galloway, Dani Zweig,
Glenn Carnagey, Martin Terman (Mutant for Hire!), Chuq Von Rospatch (sp?),
Dan'l (The Roach), Chris Jarocha-Ernst, Dan Parmenter, and Jerry Boyajian
(Jayembee).  And all the people who made r.a.c. such an "interesting"
and "warm" (make that "hot") place to be, like Tim Maroney, Milo Cooper,
Omega, Mike Godwin, and "Scowling Jim" Cowling.  And all the visiting and
resident "pros" like Peter David, Mike Jittlov, Dave Sim, and Neil Gaiman
(channelled  through Tanaqui :-)).  And all the others my Classic
Coke-addled brain won't recall until five milliseconds AFTER I've sent
this out.  :-)

New things are happening.  Just last week Chuq and Omega made up afer a
feud started before I came to r.a.c. in the summer of 1988.  We
received our first posting from the Confederation of Independent States.
And it's time for this newsgroup to move on, and transfer it's legacy to
its children.

Fare thee well, rec.arts.comics.

Yes, Alan Scott and the rest of the JSA were brought back to Earth in
the Armageddon:Inferno mini-series. They've gone on to star in the set
in the present day JSA series (which is going to be cancelled around #10
unfortunately). Alan is also appearing in solo stories in Green Lantern

Obscure Trivia Lad wishes to point out that, according to Action Comics
#600, Krypton blew up 50 years before that issue (which would be
54 years ago, not one hundred).  Krypton was 50 light years from
Earth, so it took the radiation 50 years to reach Earth.  One of
these days, Obscure Trivia Lad will figure out why he remembers these
things.

Interesting that the first time I've seen this is in 'rec.arts.misc'.
However, I understand that BC is very well and broadly read, plus his
daughter is an aspiring ballerina.  And of course, everyone knows that
BC himself can really heat up a sax.  Compared to George Bush who likes
listening to country and feeling good,  BC seems like quite a
substantial person.  For those with interests in the arts, BC looks to
be the choice at hand.  He also may possibly have a powerful mix of
pragmatic and artful instincts good for deep problem solving - just a
speculation.  

Like many of my friends, I'm a long time registered Republican who will
most likely make a switch this time...

Does anyone know a mail order retailer that deals with
Supadance and has experdited shipment--like 2-day air? 

I usually buy them from Champion, but the problem
is the particular style and size I want is out of stock
and they say it takes about 4 weeks. Ouch! I tried Amber

You Bet! When we got there to the SLC Airport, we were told
that the Van had already left, even though we had reservations. And
we were there five minutes early! Apparently, they just pick up
enough people to pack their vans, and they didn't even bother waiting
for those who had reservations.

Both the driver (for a different destination) and the woman in charge
didn't do or say anything to help us. We had to confront the woman in
order for her to set us up (??) for another van that were to arrive 2
hours later.

In the meantime, we found another shuttle company that was cheaper and
the driver seemed to be more friendly. I can't remember the name of the
company, but I can find it if anyone is interested.

I advocate that we boycott Keys Transportation for any future BYU camp
attendees.
