Oyez!  Oyez!  Oyez!

Good gentles one and all of USENET ...

By the grace of the net.gods and speaking on my authority as a Pope,
and the first Established Minor Figure of USENET, I hereby proclaim
and announce that Andrew S. Damick, The BOB(c), is now EMPEROR of USENET,
with the powers and privileges appertaining thereunto.

His Imperial Majesty shall have the power to grant Kingdoms,
Principalities, Baronies, and any other lands, newsgroups, titulary,
and heraldry that He shall deem fit.

For the Emperor:
-Shawn C. Knight

(p.s. to His Imperial Majesty: I want the Principality of
alt.magick.*, and I want the title of Herald to His Imperial Majesty.
:)
