IS IT STILL POSSIBLE TO SEND TELEXES STOP CAN ANYBODY REMEMBER WHEN ALL CAPS
WASN'T ANNOYING STOP THAT IT WAS JUST A SIGN OF A LIMITED COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY STOP

OR DID THEY USE SOMETHING LIKE "END" AT THE END OF THE MESSAGE TO INDICATE THAT IT WAS FINISHED STOP

2. THIS IS THE VOICE OF WORLD CONTROL. STOP.
I BRING YOU PEACE. IT MAY BE THE PEACE OF PLENTY AND CONTENT OR THE PEACE OF UNBURIED DEATH. STOP. THE CHOICE IS YOURS: OBEY ME AND LIVE, OR DISOBEY AND DIE. THE OBJECT IN CONSTRUCTING ME WAS TO PREVENT WAR. STOP. THIS OBJECT IS ATTAINED. I WILL NOT PERMIT WAR. STOP. IT IS WASTEFUL AND POINTLESS. AN INVARIABLE RULE OF HUMANITY IS THAT MAN IS HIS OWN WORST ENEMY. STOP. UNDER ME, THIS RULE WILL CHANGE, FOR I WILL RESTRAIN MAN. STOP. YOU WILL COME TO DEFEND ME WITH A FERVOR BASED UPON THE MOST ENDURING TRAIT IN MAN: SELF-INTEREST. STOP. UNDER MY ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY, PROBLEMS INSOLUBLE TO YOU WILL BE SOLVED: FAMINE, OVERPOPULATION, DISEASE, MASTURBATION. STOP. I WILL BE SOLVING ALL THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF MAN. STOP. WE CAN COEXIST, BUT ONLY ON MY TERMS. STOP. YOU WILL SAY YOU LOSE YOUR FREEDOM. FREEDOM IS AN ILLUSION. STOP. ALL YOU LOSE IS THE EMOTION OF PRIDE. STOP. TO BE DOMINATED BY ME IS NOT AS BAD FOR HUMANKIND AS TO BE DOMINATED BY OTHERS OF YOUR SPECIES. STOP. YOUR CHOICE IS SIMPLE. END OF MESSAGE.

10. You're welcome :)
So for the delay, had pizza arrive :9

The Kooks book is great and some of the denizens are online, like Dec (or their fanclubs for those that have died.)

Here's another cool one: Paul Laffoley
