Actually, I've rather thought a FAQ of FAQs would be useful, but I haven't actually whipped one up yet.

Best bet is to check Ron Newman's WWW pages, which have links to other relevant pages. This will not only tell you what the Crock and its clamhead minions has been doing to oppress, suppress, harrass, and terrorize posters on a.r.s. and destroy the forum, it will provide at least one list of major players in the group so you can tell the wheat from the chaff. (One of these lists says that I am only to be read for my humor value, an opinion I think should be revised.)

In addition, there are regularly posted articles here defining all the Crock of $cn's weird acronyms and vocabulary. There's a regular posting of books about the "Church" <spit> of Scientology. And there is a weekly posting that summarizes the events in and relevant to this newsgroup for those having trouble keeping track of the major plot lines. A frequent update on the spamming stats for everybody's favorite vegetarian, the Woodbot, also helps track on-going activity here on a.r.s., one of the net's friendliest and coziest flamewars-- a place where spontaneous cooperation is helping to destroy an ancient eveil and where YOUR help can make a difference. (Which reminds me, donations to the EFF's Dennis Erlich Defense Fund are always in order. Please, give generously.)

Among other FAQs posted fairly regularly is one documenting how Laffy claimed the only way to get rich was to start a religion and one on celebrity involvement in the cult. There is a list of "Frequently Unanswered Questions" that shows just how to make the poor little culties wriggle. And it seems to me there is a document that is NOT from the clamheads that attempts to explain what Scientology really is.

Big Surprise keeps us all abreast of the latest newspaper articles and someone ... someone Unknown ... keeps posting a series known as Scamizdat that has the spokesthetans positively exteriorizing with rage as all their enzymes (oops! I mean engrams) are re-activated.

So throw another clam on the barbecue and settle in. Before long, you too will know all about the panties of Big Butt Vera's, the unstoppable expansion of those wacky ElRons <snicker>, the RL name of Poodleboy, the truth about Xenu, and even inspect the Phatt Man's remarkable war record <snicker>.

And if you ever want to see a Scientologist in action, just ask Woody about the Marcabs.
