Ha ha ha. Now, I guess, it can be admitted. It's too late now.

Scientology flat out fell for the years of ARSCC's faux-whining. Remember: "PLEASE don't make Battlefield Earth into a movie!"

Many a time, I thought the Taunting Corps went over the top. "Those incompetents will never let the world see the 'genius' of L. Ron Hubbard on giant screens!"

Man it was tough keeping straight faces when we leaked the false internal memos like: "Damn, if Scientology makes Battlefield Earth, they'll have the planet cleared in weeks! Stop it at all costs!"

I didn't think they'd buy it. "Psychiatry will be destroyed as soon as the world sees its depiction in Battlefield Earth." That was too much. But, it wasn't.

They took the bait. Hook and line. Anyone seen my sinker?

They shoulda read more Uncle Remus and less L. Ron. They threw us in the briar patch!

Congratulations to the ARSCC Project Green Weenie Team, and to all involved! You guys led the way and kept our spirits up in the dark days. Genius. Pure genius.

And, thanks, Scientology, for putting Battlefield Earth on film! Obviously, we couldn't have done it without you! -- Hud Nordin <hud@netcom.com> Silicon Valley
