Little Rock, AR - The User Known as Knockout was awarded the much-coveted Staff Conscience job with the bulletin-board service and Internet provider The Snider Cutting Snider Edge Snider Snider Snider! Knockout will be responsible for defining staff responsibilities and job descriptions, and for setting the moral tone and mores for the quickly growing company. Gene Billingsley, Executive Vice President of Being Out of Debt, commented that Knockout was the obvious choice, bringing a wealth of practical knowledge to the staff as well as a maturity and moral development that is the envy of everyone at TSCSESSS! "There just wasn't any other user with Knockout's experience and well, insight", Gene explained recently at a press conference after spending his usual three minutes a day working on TSCSESSS! affairs, "After Knockout showed me how I was abandoning the system in favor of my work and family, I realized 'Hey, this kid is on to something, and I don't think The Snider Cutting Snider Edge Snider Snider Snider can succeed without it.'. Sure, twenty years from now I may tear up every time I hear 'Cat's in the Cradle' and I realize I can't even remember my child's name, but hey, I have to listen to the voice of wisdom..." Other TSCSESSS! staff members had similarly good things to say about the appointment: Diogenes, Minister of Shutting Down Incoming Netscape Connections with Immensely Popular Web Pages, said "Knockout doesn't like me, and I know that means I must be a bad person. I am going to dedicate my life to being a better person, and in following in Knockout's footsteps, so that maybe one day, as I near the end of my days, I will hear Knockout say 'Diogenes? He's pretty cool.'. Then I can die happy. Knockout. I just love saying that name. Knockout Knockout Knockout Knockout Knockout Knockout! Just keeps getting better every time!" Cosmo, UnderSecretary of Putting Off Macbeth At Least Until the Christmas Season, declared "I'm all for it. Knockout is right - SysOp stands for System Operator, and who makes the system work? Me! Sure, I may have to issue more retractions than Ronald Reagan's White House Staff, but I'm sure one of Knockout's first actions will be to remove the Co from the front of my name and make me smo, I mean SySop! Then I and Knockout can go about the business of getting these pesky Wolfpack members off staff, and put some people we can TRUST in charge..." Dark Shadow, Engineer in charge of Automatic Pizza Delivery, had this to say: "Not only has Knockout been the most valued and respected contributor to this BBS for years, I've already learned more about Unix and C programming from this kid than I ever thought I would know! Knockout has cut my code almost in half and shown me how to do stuff on the shell I never thought was possible! If Knockout can only give me the time, I am sure together we can make a system that Dagarth will be happy to call home. I am going to write a killer MUD where every single player, monster, and mobile is called 'Knockout' and where your goal is to achieve the highest possible 'Knockoutness' rating. The popularity of this MUD may shut us down again, but it will be worth it." wired Child, NetGod in Charge of Making Creepy Allusions Between Netscape and the Third Reich, e-mailed this comment in: "When Knockout failed to list me as Staff, I realized I just wasn't doing my part. I mean, if a user as savvy in planning and business operation as Knockout didn't think I was important enough to be mentioned, I must really be slacking! Luckily, I got to talk to Knockout, and got some really good insights into how I should run things, although I did have to look a few of the words up. This has made a profound change in my life, even more so than when another staff member told me my problem was I just needed to cheer up! What a month this has been!" Isaboe, Stealth Cadet Second Class, could not be reached for comment. The SniderGods have made no official comment, but they did look briefly down from the heavens and smile, and it is rumored they are furiously arguing in the Celestial Palace over at whose right hand Knockout will sit, and who will be given Knockout's Sacred Pager Number. No word has been received yet on Knockout's salary, but given the circumstances it is certain to make recent offers to Michael Ovitz look pitiful by comparison. Knockout will preside Monday over the first Prayer Breakfast of The Snider Cutting Snider Edge Snider Snider Snider staff, and deliver, along with the required sacrifices to the SniderGods, a detailed 66-point plan for the salvation of TSCSESSS!. source: My Butt ]:-) snider.net, snider.net, gets whatever a snider gets, Surfs a web - any size, cooks up plans - just like fries Hey there, there goes the snider.net are they strong?
