                                - it's not like we don't understand,
                                   it's just that we don't really care (tm)

ùÄÄ=<what is bore?>=Ä-ù

        We don't know. We don't care. Sometimes we code, sometimes we write,
sometimes we play with our rubber duckies. For some reason, all these 
activites seem so much more valid when done under the auspices of an all-
encompasing product logo. We choose to call this logo 'BoRE'

ùÄÄ=<who is bore?>=Ä-ù

        Everybody. BoRE does not discriminate. We do not seek talent, nor
desire a reputation. We have no quality standards. If you want to be in BoRE,
you are. Affirmation is all that is required; just remember that in all things
you do, you are a part of BoRE, and let that spirit guide you.

ùÄÄ=<why is bore?>=Ä-ù

        BoRE exists becuase if it didn't, it would be necessary to invent it.
And nobody wants that.

ùÄÄ=<where is bore?>=Ä-ù

        (sysops, this is your chance to prove how funky you really are!)
        (just edit this file with your board's name and become BoRE WHQ)

ùÄÄ=<when is bore?>=Ä-ù

        Never. It's a lie. BoRE never happened, and never you will. Go eat
your toast, I think it's ready.

the following incidents have been officially repudiated and will soon be
expunged from the cultural memory:

      19.10.95        bore01.zip         the first issue of BoRE
      31.10.95        boretro1.zi        the first BoRE promotional giveaway
      26.12.95        bore02.zip         the second issue of BoRE
      09.01.96        bore03.zip         the difficult third issue of BoRE
      17.01.06        ffa6000e.com       4k of crap for oz96  

ùÄÄ=<is this the end?>=Ä-ù

        No. It is only the intermission. you have been warbled.
