- AT LAST!
-
- THE BOOK THAT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR!!
-
- (And just in time for Christmas, 1992!)
- [sounds of rocks being thrown]
-
- Hello, comp.sys.amiga.advocacy readers! I don't want to sound like
- a braggart, but this could be the most important posting you have read all
- year! I want to tell you about a new book. This book is guaranteed to be
- more influential than The Bible! Longer than "Gone With The Wind!" And
- easier to read than "Dick and Jane go to the Bathroom!"
-
- I know that people are not supposed to post commercial announcements
- on USENET, but this information is just TOO IMPORTANT to keep to myself! I
- can't imagine any comp.sys.amiga.advocacy reader living without it!! Why??
- Well, wouldn't you LOVE the answers to the following questions?
-
- o What is the single best personal computer for all purposes?
- o Which chip architecture is superior: Intel or Motorola?
- o How to write a Device-Independent Graphics system in only
- 6 hours!
- o Simple political tactics to get Lotus 1-2-3 ported to
- your favorite computer!
- o 100 suggestions for cool c.s.a.advocacy subject lines
- like "Imminent death of the Amiga predicted"!
- o How to connect multiple TARGA boards to your Amiga!
- o 10 simple methods to force Irving Gould to retire!
- o How to win at BLAZEMONGER and lose only 2 limbs!
-
- These are just SOME of the questions that are answered in this INCREDIBLE
- book. What book can possibly offer such lasting and timeless information?
- The only answer is: UNKNOWN HIDDEN SECRETS OF THE ADVOCACY MASTERS.
-
- Yes! UNKNOWN HIDDEN SECRETS OF THE ADVOCACY MASTERS is the only
- book that can promise to change you from a TIMID, NON-POSTING LOSER into a
- VIRILE MASS OF DIGITAL TESTOSTERONE with only minor surgical after-effects.
-
- IMAGINE how WONDERFUL things will be after you have read UNKNOWN
- HIDDEN SECRETS OF THE ADVOCACY MASTERS. When some snot-nosed goober dweeb
- posts a LIE in c.s.a.advocacy, all you need to do is refer to the appropriate
- page in the book, read the SECRET INFORMATION, and then EFFORTLESSLY DESTROY
- your opponent with a stream of WORDS OF POWER.
-
- NEVER AGAIN will you lose an argument. NEVER AGAIN will you have
- silicon kicked in your face by the supposed BIG FLAMERS of this newsgroup.
- NEVER AGAIN will you have a big bank account after you buy this book. NEVER
- AGAIN will this offer be repeated. NEVER AGAIN will this offer be repeated.
-
- UNKNOWN HIDDEN SECRETS OF THE ADVOCACY MASTERS. The list of names
- on our panel of writers reads like a "Who's Who" of Amiga flamage. Guess
- who they are? HA! I'll NEVER tell. (But if you really want to know this
- UNKNOWN HIDDEN SECRET, then BUY THE BOOK and find out how to MAKE me tell
- you!!)
-
- Yes, this book HAS IT ALL! Here are some more examples:
-
- ? Want to learn how to win ANY argument in c.s.a.advocacy?
- [See page 978.]
-
- ? Need inside information on the latest Commodore hardware
- developments? [Look on page 34!]
-
- ? Did you hear a rumor that you want to verify or dispel?
- [Page 77 tells you who knows the truth, and how to contact
- her.]
-
- ? Can't break the copy protection on your favorite game?
- [See pages 545-602 for a complete table of how to break
- every game on the market!]
-
- ? Is your USENET addiction preventing you from having a normal
- social life? [Page 188 provides free dance lessons!]
-
- ? Can't win at BLAZEMONGER? [See page 3,719 to learn why it's
- not possible!]
-
-
- Now, when this book hits the stores, it's going to sell for a VERY
- large amount of money. So... how much would you pay for such a book?
- $500? $1000? Trade in your computer for it? Well, there's good news! I
- am extending a SPECIAL OFFER to the readers of comp.sys.amiga.advocacy.
- Yes, because you are all so dear to my heart, you can own your very own copy
- of UNKNOWN HIDDEN SECRETS OF THE ADVOCACY MASTERS for a very inexpensive
- price!! Yes... VERY VERY inexpensive!!
-
- "What IS this price?" I hear you cry. Silly mortals. Just like
- every spine-tingling fact in this book, the true price is an UNKNOWN HIDDEN
- SECRET. But it is VERY low. Oh, yes. So to take advantage of the SPECIAL
- OFFER, simply send us the EXACT AMOUNT, plus $78.29 (US) for postage and
- handling, and UNKNOWN HIDDEN SECRETS OF THE ADVOCACY MASTERS will soon be

- We will simply keep the money, and tell you to try again. Once you finally
- send us the correct amount, we will refund all your previously submitted
- money and return it with the book. If we haven't spent it.

- ________________, _____ _________
-
- What are the blank lines? Well... like the price, the rest of the address
- is an UNKNOWN HIDDEN SECRET. (It's on page 3!) But we are confident that
- you'll be able to find us. At least before the Better Business Bureau
- does....
