All rights reserved. A guide to the beginner of the BYTEBROS conference on LUCIFERnet. Managed, created and run by Jimmy Pearson, and available to adults internationally from boards participating in the LUCIFERnet network. All characters, events and other descriptions in this guide are fictional (except where noted otherwise), and any resemblance with any person, past or present, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ You've heard of ByteBros the Conference, well this is ByteBros, the Guide. (Soon the be a major motion picture.) This document is intended to be an introduction to the many people and events, past and present, of that unique bastion of insanity known as the ByteBros conference. I will attempt to convey the spirit of that conference, but understand that there are limitations to such an endeavor. First, I have tried to keep this document rated no worse than PG-13, while the conference itself is unrated (what's the point?). Also, trying to present the true ambiance of ByteBrothers would be like trying to describe the ambiance of a Mississippi outhouse. Personal experience is the only true guide, and thus to really appreciate ByteBros, you must experience it first hand. For those who cannot, or dare not, and even those who do and just want a better idea of what the hell is going on, this guide is for you.

InterLink A nice echomail system which has no responsibility for LUCIFERnet. Elliott Jackson Bytebrothers programmer of utilities such as DRUNKCUT and the new BBQWKSCAN utility.

Steve Poggio As a child, he watched his sister Abigail get eaten by pigs, so please, never mention PIGS in his presence. See also Debi Smith. A typical loveable New York City pervert.

Victor loves elephants and watches a tape of Dumbo every day. He is co-sysop of Bob Hogan's Eagles Nest BBS and does all of the PCBoard upgrades on the system. _______________________________________________________________________ A final word: "My take on Bytebrothers is that, once you get past the shock of some of the humor and words here, you can see the real fellowship and caring among the participants. Folks who are just into posting graffiti or naughty words or shocking ideas quickly fade away. We *use* those things as a shorthand to touch each other over the miles. Those who are really and truly bigots or have the mentality of fifth-grade bullies on the playground won't last. You can always tell who those folks are when they come on the scene here. There is an edge to them, a nastiness. Does everyone on BB use shocking and nasty words and imagery? You bet. Are the folks here doing it just to be nasty? No way. It's our language, it's our customs, our style. We are able to look in the face of life's absurdities and laugh our asses off at them. But *real* bigots won't last here. That's why I want the NOISE and Belden and other assorted oddities here. To expose them for what they are. Bytebro- thers will deal with them in our own, inimitable way and they will quickly tuck tail and run, as all cowards do."
