       Brad-
	 The recent posting on "real cyberpunks" was so interesting and
       informative that I thought I'd reread the post and see what else
       I could find out about this fascinating subculture.  Here's what
       I discovered:
       ----------------------------------------------------------------

>    - Real cyberpunks wear military surplus clothing, non-neon colored
>      Gortex, bluejeans, boots (combat or motorycle), Factsheet-5 T-Shirts,
>      and kilts (on formal occasions).
       Discovery: It is difficult to distinguish real cyberpunks from a
       bunch of kids headed to a video arcade.

>    - Real cyberpunks know what PPS really means.
>    - Real cyberpunks know what TEMPEST means.
>    - Real cyberpunks know what a TS-21 is.
>      Real cyberpunks know what DMSO is.
>      Real cyberpunks know what OSUNY originally stood for.
       Discovery: Real cyberpunks have the same fetish for acronyms as
       IBM and the army.

>    - Real cyberpunks listen to Ministry, The Cure, Skinny Puppy, The
>      Misfits...
       Discovery: Real cyberpunks are in the same music demographic as
       13-18 year old girls.

>    - Real cyberpunks drink Jolt.
>      Corollary to the above: Real cyberpunks think Pepsi is for artfags.
       Discovery: Real cyberpunks actually care about what cola you drink.

and finally,

     - Real cyberpunks feel compelled to spell out exactly what it is that
       makes them so cool, not unlike white supremacists.

       Now, if only somebody could tell me what a Leatherman Tool is...
       Oh, wait, I remember reading about that on alt.sex.bondage. Never
       mind.
