<< BACK TO RS001 LOG We, your friends and archivists, wish you to know: This message was originally transmitted over QEC via the anonymous resender satellite named "anon.penet.fi" by its unknown maintainers. While previous such messages have been archived under that satellite's own channel, it is lately the sense of the meeting that relevant messages, where possible, be included alongside the events in whose context they may best be understood. Thus do we present this message here. As with all messages from "anon.penet.fi", no headers or other metadata were provided in the original transmission. While additional information has since become available, we feel that to include it here would betray the spirit of our project. Accordingly, we present this message, and will present future such messages, verbatim as originally transmitted. ~ THIS IS AN OPERATIONAL RESPONSE THIS IS AN OPERATIONAL RESPONSE THIS IS AN OPERATIONAL RESPONSE THIS RESPONSE IS DESIGNATED 01/1 REMOTE UNIT WITH THE DESIGNATION: : 932BB4979009B4564977E63F66AB2855.003 REPORTS: INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO EVALUATE MENTAL STATE OF EXPN DIR SOLOVIEV.
