If people would just go with that.
Trust in Tom to make every magic secret clear, and out there, for anyone to
notice.
Ofcourse people will think this is way too easy
It cannot possibly work like that.
I am not responsible for my life.
Yes you all completely and utterly define your life.
You, who do not already see Tom as worthwhile to read, should read this
message, and use it.
Then after a year, you may come back to alt.magick, and thank Tom on your
knees.
Like i will do right here :
Tom, you are by far the most usefull poster on alt.magick.
I have learned more with only about 3 or 4 posters.
None of those where as thorough as you.
Even for people that completely and only whine about nonsense,
You still step up.
Tom, i think you are most likely the most unselfish person ever to have
graced alt.magick.
I am thoroughly gratefull i have met you.
(as you can prolly tell, this is going into a brave exit speech)
My 'friends' on am, in chronological order :
Started out in alt.magick.virtual-adepts
PV (the crazy norwegian, he's our man, considerate, friendly and helpfull
like no-one can)
-ZZ (i mean omg, have you ever seen a more funny guy ??)
Joshua O'Brien ( he was more like a peer, than a parent)
Richard Sprigg (all time favorite)
Alt.magick heroes :
Josh geller and Ludvig Prinn i pretty much only had the pleasure of reading.
My hero, and one-time only, not appeared on alt.magick afaik.
The mage of halo-M
I never found out who he/she was, but interaction was just like, you know,
continuation.
Friend, is Tom one of mine ?
Well, i think of Tom with love in my hart, and hope in my loins :P
(just seemed like right, and no, i am not gay (nor is tom afaik)) :P)
Tom is the bestest, and most honourable person posting in alt.magck for the
last, well, 7 years.
(me started in 2000, so not sure about tom before that)
Every shithead that whines against tom should seriously read every previous
shithead that whined.
Now Erwin may deserve a special position.
But no, his personal and presented theories are divergent and not
compatible.
He should work that out first.
after 7, or about 8 years, i thank you all.
I do not think i could have gotten better references or discussions
anywhere.
Damn it. I was hoping for top billing.
Au revoir, Bassos. Perhaps we'll see you again some time.
