It was almost exactly 10 years ago that the first message was posted to the Virus mailing list, reproduced here for your illucidation and edification:


Quote:

Subject: virus: Let it begin

[resend for archival]

I think we should start off by revisiting what it is that we think we
are creating. What is a religion/integrated philosophy composed of?
What should Virus look like?

I'd like to take this (more or less arbitrary) opportunity to start a thread to look back on the last 10 years and to look forward to the next 10.

...i will not hide the fact that i am a small bit hurt by the fact that my
arrival went unheralded.  =-(

sure, ive been a bit lame as of late...but it's a passing phase.  besides,
for those who do not know, Walter Watts is just a semi-literate cocker
spaniel that became somewhat self-aware in 1993.  he claims he escaped from
a dog show a few years prior...and now that most people here are new, he
figures they don't realize he's just a former show dog turned armchair
psychiatrist and "pharmacist" - meaning he mixes his kibbles with warm water
AND hamburger.  oooooh, i'm soooo impressed!  i'm fucking sick of this
bullshit.

....i see you've gone back to shaving your tail.  nice touch.  oh, and i was
soooo fooled into thinking you have fingers once again.  yeah right.

by the way, how are things in the snowy land of oklahoma?  is it cold enough
fer ya?  could you please remind me what sort of financial bonus the state
has set up to get people to live in such weather?  i recall it being
impressive, but i just cant seem to remember exactly how much.  with weather
like that, i can only imagine what kind of sum it must be! =)

Happy 10th birthday CoV!  A hearty congratulations and thanks are in order. Congratulations for fostering an environment where logical debate is valued and a thank you to Lucifer for presenting all of us with a forum to discuss the very things that lie hidden within the constructs of society and all that it encompasses. 

Best regards,

Thank you for getting this thread back on track.

....having just read Bill McKinnons response as well as this one, i'm left
scratching my head....is it possible that through the typed word, my poor
attempt at humor has been terribly misunderstood?  just for clarification
then:  Walter Watts is NOT a cocker spaniel....he is a human of course. 
Walter does NOT eat kibbles (with or without hamburger)....and as far as i
know, has NEVER been to an AKC dog show.  He is indeed a pharmacist and has
never, in my knowledge, been sincerely called an arm-chair psychiatrist. 
But most of all i want to restate this fact: Walter W. is NOT a cocker
spaniel.

Just dropped by and saw this thread.  It's amazing for a website to last 10 years.  Truely amazing.  Good work there, Lucifer.  I hope this place continues to grow and is always a great place for philosophical debate, mind-expanding ideas, and most of all great people.  I miss you all very much, and I hope as life settles down for me, I'll be able to be more active.  Long live the CoV!  And remember... Think for yourself, question authority.

Congratulations on 10 years of CoV!  We should commemorate with a decorative plate...or at least a limited edition T-shirt.
