   When I say 'cyberpunk' I mean alt.cyberpunk and the people I know (who   
   mostly were part of alt.cyberpunk). For all I know, there might be   
   others, not alt.cyberpunk, who have figured out how to organize   
   cyberpunk. Sometimes they show up here with their manifesto and their   
   philosophy. It always turns out to be, after inspection, just some guys   
   in a dorm. No joy there.
