From ahl@xenu.net From: Andreas Heldal-Lund - www.xenu.net Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology Subject: Op. Clambake celebrates 4 years online today! Organization: Operation Clambake Message-ID: Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 21:03:52 +0100 -------- Yes, today it is 4 years since Operation Clambake (www.xenu.net) was first released on the Internet. I never imagined in my wildest dreams what that weekend stunt would lead to. Today Operation Clambake has an average of 67,000 requests and transfer almost 600,000 kilobytes of data EACH DAY! It contains approximately 80 megabyte of data divided on almost 4000 files. It has 3 registered domains, other domains forwarding to it or mirroring and an unknown number of links from all types of people all over the world. I'm drowning in e-mails from people with thanks to all you folks out there who have helped me make Operation Clambake into what it is today. I want to take the opportunity to give all of you my warmest thanks too. This incredible ride has been an experience beyond anything else in my life. My gratitude to you, I would not have managed a fraction of this alone. I got so much material in my posession crying to be hosted on the site, but my ordinary day job takes so much time that it will take a long time before I finish all of my planned projects for the site. Maybe another 4 years? Or if CoS finally decides to sue me then I might get a lot of time to kill... Let's see how stupid they are. But I had to release something for the anniversary! The result of my work the last two nights is one page dedicated to the SeaOrg and two OC-ified pages about critical books and media coverage of Dianetics in the fifties: * Sea Organization http://www.xenu.net/archive/so/ * Scientology Booklist http://www.xenu.net/archive/books/ * The Fabulous Fifties http://www.xenu.net/archive/fifties/ The booklist originates from Martin Hunt's page and the "fabulous fifties" is compiled by Joe Cisar. I bet CoS will try to stop the SO page because of the pictures and Flag Orders used to document the story so those of you who find this valuable for further research into this cult should consider saving a local copy for future reference. I consider the SO page as work in progress so any of you with a little time on your hands and more knowledge on the subject are more than welcome to help develop it further. Enjoy! PS: If you want to help in the fight against CoS, please consider adding a banner to Operation Clambake or any of the many other critical sites. Lots of banner images available at: http://www.xenu.net/archive/banners/ Best wishes, Andreas Heldal-Lund, Nunsteinvegen 9, N-4056 Tananger, Norway Pho: +47 90 04 32 99 Fax: 90 32 35 46 E-mail: ahl@xenu.net home.sol.no/~spirous www.xenu.net www.hedning.no/hedning --------------------------------------------------------------- "If anyone can show me, and prove to me, that I am wrong in thought or deed, I will gladly change.
