Mosaic - The debate on the journal "Oberon."
MOSAIC
(C) OLDMAN
Frankly, I'm at a loss ... My review of the journal Oberon
(Remember that this edition is a light band Stars of
Keladan, a letter which you can see in the previous issue of
the newspaper), published under the heading "Presentation" in
the ON-LINE # 64, not was negative - it was critical! Despite
the fact that I allowed myself to argue with some of the
statements the authors, vyshesheupomyanutom review there were
many complimentary words about the magazine, moreover, Oberon
was named # 2 competitive electronic journals spectrophone and
ZX-Format, and it's not all - ended with a note board must buy
this edition.
The authors are the same, (and despite the fact that he
wrote a letter to just one them, Eugene Miloon, he spoke on
behalf of the entire group), seen in review only "attacks" on
himself ... and sent a reply ... God would them - well, did not
understand and do not understand their problems, everyone
understands Because of its corruption ... Only disagreed with
my point of view, they escorted me to the incompetence
allegations that I was still able to swallow, given the
previously expressed my doubts about their own solvency, but
that I can not let questioned the validity of written me
ever reviews (arguing that I describe the software, not even
bothering to look at it). Moreover, addressed to me came, and
has not been substantiated, the charges of falsification of the
facts and writing my material "dictation" the other persons.
Questioned my e-newspapers and ON-LINE independence. According
to the group SoK, being members of the editorial board the
electronic journal spectrophone, I am unable to think for
themselves, therefore, printed in the ON-LINE information is
not may cause confidence. Perhaps I exaggerate the drama of the
situation, perhaps, Eugene Miloon sees nothing wrong with that,
judging by his letter, he believes such actions normal practice:
"Yes, in those days, we have not seen Spectrofon'20 (Review,
where he mentioned, was written "rainy day", and the magazine
from Moscow brought the one who brought back Oberon )..."
- That is, as you can see, writing "rainy day" - a common
thing for the electronic journal Oberon, but who gave them the
right to judge other on its own? Another quote:
"It seems you do not obideshsya much if I say that Oberon # 2
you have not read (and probably did not even see) and wrote his
article dictation Stepa ... "
- I _silno_ offended by the above ...
So the first thing I want to tell, though, perhaps, in this
already and do not need that, before writing a review of
Oberon, I read it carefully and that the initiative at all to
mention the publication in the newspaper was based solely on me
and realized there was only me, without any involvement from
outside in the editorial of the ON-LINE people.
And, of course, I have carefully read available then I have
in stock the second number of Oberon. Though, in something the
authors are right, I made a miscalculation - to advertise the
magazine, judging only by one - 2-nd number, do not read (and
even without seeing) the 1 st number this edition ...
Everything. Official statement I made, after that I allow
myself some liberties, and even somewhere excessive
emotionality. I hope readers will understand me. Although the
original plan was the other - after that I was going to analyze
in detail the letter Samara group to show where they made a
mistake, but where just sporoli nonsense gently chide for
arrogance and praise for the recognition of some of their
mistakes, teach diskovizirovat 48 th game and write stars on a
black background so that they are not shaking ... in general,
to fill another 15 kilobytes of text - because the editors
received a letter from numerous questions and offers some
interesting discussion, in my opinion, the topics ... But life
has introduced some changes. I just realized that it was not
necessary. Trying to prove something Author Oberon is
practically impossible, too, they are angry. And the readers
themselves to understand why a previously unknown group has
developed such a violent activity, and what are all of their
statements.
Before writing this article, I decided to inquire about the
effectiveness of advertising in the ON-LINE, and specifically,
the popularity of the Samara magazine.
Imagine my surprise when we found out that
Oberon has no demand in Moscow! "How?" - Thought
I, - "because the magazine is not so bad ..." When I decided to
find out why, they told me something like: "You, old man,
something Hilbert, obshibsya ... All satisfied the first number
of this "remarkable" magazine ... The second lies on a pair of
bibiesok, nobody wanted ... "I I think all figured out that I
wanted to see very well, "the first swallow, "the group SoK And
now - a desire fulfilled ...
Oh God, what a disappointment I experienced! How could I
have pierced that succumbed to the external validity of
incorrect, in fact, claims of numerous works by authors of
Oberon and more accurately representing their Eugene Miloon!
And I have recommended to readers ON-LINE to draw attention to
this issue, nothing in better, not different from a family of
local magazine, writing, in my deep conviction that the members
author's family, but they, at least, not crowded with so many
of malice and envy, which is just oozing out of Oberon. Well,
that is, taking out the floppy and all its contents from its
computer, I tried to gently keep her at a corner, as could not
help feeling that because it is something dripping ... sticky
this ... thick ...
Well, actually, all I can say about it as I would not want
more ... Oh yeah! We look waiting for the promised letter from
the Samara group Speed Co., very interesting to listen to
their point of view on so another vital today topic as hacking
and distribution of national copyright programs with ads of his
hack in periodicals - happy to publish their arguments and
bring their ...
Last quote from a letter to the ON-LINE # 64:
"... Let's think about how quickly to distribute your paper in
Samara."
- A very strange proposal to think of a person having
access to an electronic network of Fido, a ehokonferentsiyu
ZX.SPECTRUM which regularly send new issues of the newspaper.
