Subject: $$$$$$$
Why is everyone on this list so damn cheap? When the new album comes
out that is only ONE cd....will you guys be complaining that you have to
pay anywhere from $12-$19 for it? I don't think so. The Beginnings
does have some unrealeased tracks on it, is 2 cds, is rare, and is ONLY
$10! Now that's a deal.

(NOTE: The poster of this message retracts the following statement
in a post in the following day's Magical Armchair. Go here
to read it. - fjm, listowner)
This is a message directed to all traders and potential traders.
If you see something on ROBBIE CHAPLICK's webpage that you want:
<http://http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Delta/6626/>
<echap@netcom.ca>
BEWARE!!!
I sent this guy 5 tapes over TWO MONTHS AGO and to this day he has sent me
nothing. It is VERY discouraging. He was supposed to send me a video and
3 tapes.
Here's the whole story:
I contacted him requesting a video if BFF on Much Music. He said yeah,
cool. He wanted a couple other tapes of mine so I sent him 5 and he agreed
to send me 3 with the vid. Not a bad deal, eh? Anyways a few weeks went
by and I asked him where my stuff was. He said that he sent it but due to
non-sufficient postage it was returned to him. For the inconvenience he
agrees to send me 2 extra tapes, WOW!! Seems nice, right? Well the last I
heard from him was WELL before Christmas and he is not returning my
e-mails. I told him I would spread his name around so that is what I am
doing. I have waited long enough without doing anything.
The most discouraging part though, is that I traded with him before and he
was really good, not one problem. Ya think you know somebody,(sniff).
I hate do this but I feel obligated to let everybody know.
So in conclusion, do not trade with ROBBIE CHAPLICK or Toronto, ON!!! (Retracted by the writer - Robbie's a good guy after all - mod.) He
may just rip you off.
If I do hear from him I'll be sure to let you know. I know he reads the
Armchair so maybe he will see this and finally contact me.

security number, picture ID, and any major credit card you like. You can be
any age, gender, or race you wish. You can become a different person in only
7 steps and 7 days.
Sound too good to be true? That's what we said until we discovered these
unbelievable easy proven steps.
Fact From Fiction
- - The Picture ID is NOT a FAKE ID, it is a valid state ID just like anyone
else.
- - The Credit Card you can choose to get is NOT a fake card, its valid just
like everyone else.
- - This information is for 100% legitimate. It is not to be taken as a joke.
- - Is having two identities illegal? Not at all! There are no laws against
having two names.
The real question you have to ask yourself is how hard is it to become apart
of the United States? Not every hard at all and it can be done in one phone
call and a little bit of following up. We teach you step by step every
process you need to do and don't worry, there are no tests you must pass!
Without two weeks you will have a new identity able to do many things you

Here is what some graduates of the course have said.
I ordered the Internet Marketing Starter Kit 2 weeks ago. After I finished
all the chapters and the web designing tutorial I published my website and
promoted it using the methods in the course. I was thrilled when orders
started coming in for our diet products business. The first day we advertised
it I got three orders, the second day I got four. This is great! Thanks for
all your help.

I especially liked the fact that I could accept credit cards at my website
the same day I signed up for the service. I was turned down by my bank for
a merchant account and did not want to commit to a long term contract of $59
a month that another service wanted. I am also saving over $20 a month on
Internet access as I now get it free. I was skeptical at first but I tried it
and its everything you claim. The best $79 I ever spent!

Sanarchist Cookbook
FORBIDDEN INFORMATION
Two hundred and twenty subjects of Anarchy and havoc covered in this amazing
archive of information.
Known as the world most forbidden information source and outlawed in many

The Sanarchist Cookbook is the new revised volume for 2000. Completely revised
and updated. It is a shocking, provocative how-to book written in an era when
"turn on, burn down, blow up" were revolutionary slogans of the day. The
author considers this a survival guide and gives detailed advice concerning
electronics, sabotage and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to
scramblers. He also provides explicit information on the uses and effects of
drugs, ranging from pot to heroin.
Legal bull: This book is for reference purposes only. It is intended for
educational use only. Some of the recipes in this book are very dangerous.
