			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The dead?.docs have a long history that dates way back when to the days of the <acronym title="Bulletin Board System">BBS</acronym>.
Dedaparamaxxaginos Productions consisted of a group of raving lunatics, and by that I mean lovable geeks. The stories focus on a fictional
Gainesville, Florida BBS. At least the Not-A-Cray BBS was fictional. At least I hope it was. And if it isn&#8217;t, would anyone want to lend me
the Cray? &#8230;</p>

<p>Enough rambling. These stories are classics of geek literature. They have floated around the BBS circuit and have come to rest on the internet
in various places. The current stable place of retrieval (and it has been for the last few years) is the <a href="http://www.iago.net/dead/">Dead Documents</a>
mirror on <a href="http://iago.net">iago.net</a>. Since I have no idea how long it will be around, I figured I might as well host these docs
myself. Also, it&#8217;ll save me a Google search everytime I want to look for it.</p>

<p>Well I&#8217;m no longer curious about the annotated versions &#8230; In fact, two people have e-mailed me with a ton of information (more than I had ever anticipated) on the subject. Some of it was pretty interesting, and all of it was unexpected. But thanks to some scrounging around on the <a href="http://web.archive.org">Internet Archive</a> I managed to find the old copies of the annoted versions. A huge thanks to Brian Kern for the detailed info and to Right Reverend Bang The Clueless for helping me track down the annotated versions as well as contact the real Morgan Bluejeans to find out what&#8217;s up&#8230; also for the extremely amusing e-mails. I&#8217;ll be putting the annoted versions up in a bit, once laziness subsides. (Of course, the email exchanges I&#8217;m talking about took place from January to February (2005)&#8230; so laziness may prevail a while longer)</p>

<p>These docs are a must read for anyone who has ever used a BBS. So enjoy.</p>
