You might have got the impression  from  the  editorial that we've had fuck all
response from anybody about PB #21. Well, that's not entirely true. We have had
letters already- two  from  completely  unexpected  sources!  First  we  got an
envelope with just a disk in it. We  thought "Oho! A disk-bomb already?" No, it
was from the guys from Tour De Force and it contained two article type DOCs and
a letter-type DOC. We hadn't actually sent  them a letter, so we wondered where
they could have got the magazine and  address  from! As we read into the letter
and other DOC, it appears that it came  from Agrajag, who also sent a letter to
us. We'll say more about him later, but let's see some of what Darkman said:

    "At the moment, my printer  isn't  hooked  up  so  I'm  having to type this
    lovely  letter to you quite  quickly.  ......  Pure  Bollocks is one of the
    best mags I've read so far, so I've  (rather  quickly) typed up a couple of
    very short articles for it.... As for Mat of the Untouchables, I don't know
    where he's gone, although I know  another  couple of issues of Ledgers have
    appeared over the last few months."

Thanks very much for the articles Darkman, and the praise! We really appreciate
that sort of stuff! He then went onto  tell about what happened to Blue Harvest
(see news and Agrajag's letter later on  in  this page). We'll also try and get
any new issues of Ledgers that have been  done since September 92! He also told
that he wasn't in T-Def anymore, and gave this article to explain:

   ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "                       TOUR DE FORCE IS DEAD....
                              LONG LIVE DIGET....

    What does this mean, and who  the  hell  is  writing all this pap? Well, if
    you've read issue 21 of this funkyzine, then you may remember a crew called
    Tour de Force being mentioned a couple of times. Well, Tour de Force died a
    few months ago now, and only  two  members  remain active on the scene (the
    original two) - of the  others,  two  'retired'  and the rest have vanished
    from  the multiverse (if anyone  knows  where  Ringpull  is, or if you read
    this  yourself, then contact me...).  Anyway,  the  two active members have
    joined  forces with Diget, a games only team working in STOS/GFA/68000. I'm
    not gonna  say much more than that, but I really think you should watch out
    for our  games, the  first  few  will  be  shareware  (if  we get the right
    response). BTW,  Diget concentrate on making  games using null modem, extra
    joysticks and MIDI  links, so when we move onto the Falcon, be sure of some
    really huge games  involving  these  ports  and  the  LAN  ports for it. In
    answer to the second  question, well,  I really can't be bothered answering
    it.....

    Well, maybe I'll give you the member status  of  Diget. We are a 5 man team
    consisting of a Craig, a Derek, 2 Daves  and a Stuart. Now, bugger off, the
    lot of you...."

Again, thanks very much Darkman! Now, the second  letter we got was a couple of
days later was from Agrajag. He said in his letter:

    "I had heard about your diskmag from  one  of the Network Trash bunch and I
    got a copy off them with a  photocopy of the 'contacts letters'. [I checked
    with Genie and this story is true]  I've  had  a look at the diskmag, and I
    must say that it shows  some  promise  and  some  of it appears pretty well
    written! But one thing- why did you  have  to  rip loads of my stuff off? I
    mean, a couple of articles and my first ever attempt at chip music is a bit
    much I think!"

Well, at least you're not slagging off the magazine, but come on, we DID credit
you with it, and we ripped much  more  stuff  off other people! He then told us
that he's not in Blue Harvest any more. He says that it was a "dispute" between
himself and Red Five. He's now a coder  in  Digitech, who we also listed in our
Scottish scene review last issue. He adds:

    "As for Mat not doing Ledgers, I think that might be wrong. I've heard from
    a couple of people that  there  were  a  couple  of  issues out in the last
    month, it's just that I haven't been in  contact with Mat of UNT from ages,
    so I'll try and get in contact with  him  now, and if I get any issues from
    him, then I'll pass them on"

Thanks for your offer Agrajag, and if you  want  to  do some stuff for us a bit
more directly, you've got our new address now!

That's all so far!
