It is great to see that some of us are still going to post on this board, thats what message boards are for of course! icon_smile.gif It is a shame that some people see MP as being the be all and end all of this message board. Just because he is not around or there is no game to be played anymore then is it really so sad to have fun on here?

You might have noticed that we don't all obsess over MP everytime we post a message on here. I find it quite strange that some people on here keep going on about "real life" their "last postings" and doing other things now. Does that mean (the people who are apparently getting a life now) were really sooo absorbed by all this? I don't expect a reply as most of the people I am talking about are out getting a life right now hehe

I can imagine alot of people feel let down by all this but as they say with life, "If you don't expect too much, then you can't set yourself up for disapointment" It was all good fun and should continue to be good fun.

Well put, Fly! I have gone and made an appointment on Tuesday to get a real life, now all I have to do is figure out how to get a PC into the room with me and make it look natural! icon_lol.gif

For some interesting reading, this is one of my favorite sites (no I don't want to hear about it, just enjoy it for what it is!)..... a constant source of amusement is the 'Chef Boyardee' page!!!! I know, I'll get help.

My Dear Friends,

I am sorry that I have been away for some time. I have started a new thread as it is time to move on towards the final outcome of my mission. It only seems fitting that we have a new start. So much has happened. I write with caution and concern.

For those that would allow me to continue I have titled the new thread the 11th Plain.

I do hope you all have a most enjoyable weekend.

Yours truly

Michael Pennington

As said before, i think Michael has hit the nail on the head, when i said people where looking in here with great interest, not just us posters. This link with the government records is very interesting, it also makes me think that a communication link could be set up with Micheal and any one of us, if it was needed. I mean these guys have records on all of us, so our names addresses and everything could be accessed by Michael,


Hi, I am new here. Just wanted to mention that my son (a US Marine) works for Echolon, and lives in Harrogate England. He hasn't been able to tell me much of what he does (top secret stuff) BUT has informed me how the internet is being "watched" for key words, names and such. If the correct names are throw out there then you are "flagged" to be monitered more closely. If what this Michael says is true, it is an interesting concept of what the spirits can know and also what they may be able to do with this information. I am very interested in Michael's story.

Hi everyone,

Looks like Michael has been busy again. I keep getting messages about the chat being a problem at the new Yahoo Group. I think this is pretty much a Yahoo problem in all of their Yahoo Group rooms.

We did set up a chat channel for people who were having problems. You can access it at http://www.birminghamuk.com/chatter.htm if you need an alternative room this might suit as there is no registration required and login is easy. Make sure you select the England Room chat rather than the teen room. Everyone is welcome to use this if it helps.

I hate Mondays!!! Have a great week all.

Ive slipped way behind with all the reading due to work, pts stuff and mummy stuff icon_sad.gif

After a week of decorating and with the prospect of my 6 yr old driving me bonkers for the next week, its all too much for my poor frazzled pea like brain to take in icon_cry.gif

Can someone make a sweeping summary for me? So far Ive had emails saying :-

[list=]It was an ad campaign for some game - not sure whether they meant video game, RPG or board game.

It was the promo for some work of fiction.

Its some psychological study.

Its someone looking for a bunch of people to hack.

Its admin playing a prank.

It really was a ghost.

It was a partridge in a pear tree! (ok i made that one up icon_wink.gif )[/list]

Also, what happened to the yahoo group? Its vanished off my groups list and the url tells me it no longer exists! icon_eek.gif

Hello everyone!

Patola - What you say is interesting. I hadn't heard of Echelon before but Google came up many pages of info....big brother is watching us! BTW, Pen already asked, but where did you get the quote from?

Pen - Sorry to hear you can't get in chat... icon_sad.gif It's not the most reliable place anyway, booting everyone out every few minutes...grrr. Is there anything you can do that can help you get in? (Not sure if you need Java enabled).

Ambientbreeze - Try http://groups.yahoo.com/group/The-badger-set/. You'll find some of us in there!

Bye for now,
Just Me icon_smile.gif

Just Me - hi icon_biggrin.gif the reason I can't get into yahoo chat is because there is something in my pc's security setings that will not let ActiveX run...... icon_confused.gif can't change the settings,well,not unless I want to be unpopular with B/F icon_sad.gif Admin put up a link for a chat place,that's fiiiiiine,no probs getting in there....but there wasn't anyone there to talk too icon_lol.gif
When you are all in chat,please would someone bring me out a drink??...I think that perhaps you will find a few of us unlucky souls who can't get in coz the Bouncer won't let us.....you will see us with our little noses pressed to the windows icon_lol.gif

I got the quote from early posts. I am new to this typoe of forum and didn't know what the "quote" was for. I found that post interesting (due to my son working for Echolon). I think Michael had previously posted a link to an article on Echolon which got my interest. Since I am still not sure how to navigate around here I may be way behind and such...I will figure it out sooner or later. Anyway, I am not paranoid..gee, if I were I would'nt have posted that post! Ha ha. I just wanted to share something and get involved with this group cos you all seem like a fun and interesting group. Anyway, thanks for responding to me cos now I feel slightly like a part of this group. I am from California, USA by the way.

I see Michael has posted another long bit of his story.

Just a few facts for you.

IBM released the Personal computer running PC-DOS to the business world in August 1981. CP/M based Computers had been available since 1977 (and over 600,000 copies had been sold). PC-DOS was pretty much a clone of CP/M.

Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president on Jan 20th 1981. He was shot on March 30th and released from Hospital on Apr 11th.

The international BITNET network began in the spring of 1981 when Ira H. Fuchs and Greydon Freeman, of the City University of New York and Yale University, respectively, decided that IBM's Network Job Entry (NJE) communications protocol made computer-based communication practical between their universities. BITNET, the "Because It's Time" network, began in the US as these two universities began using a leased telephone circuit for communications between accounts on their mainframe computers. BITNET both reached across the US to California and was joined by its European counterpart EARN (European Academic and Research Network) in 1982

In 1981 the National Science Foundation created a backbone called CSNET 56 Kbps network for institutions without access to ARPANET. Vint Cerf proposed a plan for an inter-network connection between CSNET and the ARPANET.

ARPANET had been running since the late 1960s. Arpanet moved to TCP/IP network protocols on Jan 1 1983

MILNET splits off ARPANET in 1983 leaving ARPANET with only 68 nodes.

May, 1981: First production F-117A is airlifted to Groom for testing.

June 18, 1981: First flight of the production F-117A Stealth fighter (#780) at Groom.


So to sum it up.

In 1981 BITNET and CSNET had not been in existance for 18 months. In fact by the end of 1981 both BITNET and CSNET had been in existance for less than a year.

Any rich business man could have an IBM Personal Computer by August 1981. IBM had only approached Microsoft in June 1980 about them writing the OS for it. The Military would have been using CP/M based machines since the late 1970s

Groom Airforce Base was involved in testing the stealth bomber in 1981.

I'll take your word for it Stephen and reserve comment until more facts come out in the story.

It looks like good investigative work on your part, did you research all of that because of Michaels story or did you know already have the knowledge of the facts you listed beforehand?
