Internet Wilderness Society
 (a 501(c)(3) organization)


Net-dwellers awake! Civilization is encroaching on the fragile Internet. Overpopulation and over-regulation threaten the existence we have enjoyed all these billions of cycles. Telcos are staking claims to parts of this territory. Lawyers already think it's in their pocket. Librarians are putting up guard rails and sign posts, distributing little guide books, while even some of our very own are installing stop lights, electric fences, taser fields to control and monitor traffic patterns, naughty packets, and new nodes.


Excessive use by cybertrash threatens the ecology, angers the great Netmother, and ruins our view! Join us in our fight to:
o Preserve VT100 interfaces for the unborn o Establish a subnet where new protocols, compression standards, broadband switches and graphic interfaces are banned and Net.gods are honored for the knowledge they have and must keep intact.
o Limit unaffiliated users from gaining access to Our net
o Safeguard exisiting wilderness preserves for Pale White Geeks
o Operate a bit recycling center
o Use only emacs and vi when entering the Internet.
o Carry out as many bits as you bring into Cyberspace.
o Extreme danger from flames this summer. Use caution.

Next meeting of the WIS will be next Friday. Joey Strauss will channel the spirit of J.C.R. Licklider who will guide us in our quest for a pure network. Prof. Emeritus Winston Hodges of Duke University will have a slide show of his trip to USENET in 1979 when there were only two news groups.

I want to talk about the differences between these things – it’s useful to think about how these things are not alike.
