"Experts are people who know a great deal about very little and
who go along learning more and more about less and less until
they know practically everything about nothing.
Lawyers, on the other hand, are people who know very little
about many things and keep learning less and less about more and
more until they know practically nothing about everything.
Judges are people who start out knowing everything about
everything but end up knowing nothing about anything because of
their constant association with experts and lawyers."

THE ST NEWS CORRESPONDENCE ADDRESS
by Richard Karsmakers
Of course you cannot find any free sex or good drugs here, and
not even some money in the bargain. What you can find here,
however, is the means to get in touch with us and, with that, to
get in touch with the whole vast ST user base existing across the
globe.
Apart from the fact that we love to correspond with people from
all over, the address below is also the one to send articles for
use in ST NEWS to. More and more people have actually started
writing for our little mag and it's truly great. Articles get to
be more and more varied, and surely everybody can see the
advantage of that. You can also write with us. And, if you want
to, you can even write an article that will eventually reach
people you never thought would have existed. ST NEWS is read in
quite a few countries and before you know it you've got a pen pal
on the other side of the world, or someone interesting who
happens to think a lot like you.
You like Heavy Metal? That's great, of course. ST NEWS can be
the start of getting to know other bands, bands that are just as
cool as yours. Tell us which bands we should check out. Add
tapes, videos (PAL), whatever.
You like writing? Then there's surely something we can do for
you. If you've got a nice novel lying around somewhere, why not
send it to us? If you bought a piece of software (regardless
whether game or application) and you want to entire world to know
about how great or how shit it is, why not jot down an article,
slam it on a disk and mail it to us?
Have you been to a Truly Great Concert? Why not write a review
of it and have it featured in ST NEWS? Of course, this also
applies if you've just read this great book, or if you've just
bought this magnificent album.
Are you in love, perhaps? We are all ear - and so are our
readers. Mould your deepest feelings of devotion into poems and
proze, and we might very well deem it fit for inclusion amidst
our own 'literary' ramblings.
Are you not in love? Well...maybe you can write something else.
Are you a good programmer? ST NEWS offers you a chance to get
known. If you're good enough, your work will speak for you and
before you know it you will have made The CareBears and The Lost
Boys fade away in dusty memories of the pre-You era.
Have you written a rather nice little utility that you wouldn't
mind seeing in our PROGRAMS folder? Slam it on a disk, mail it to
us. Within weeks after the appearance of the issue in which is
was featured, it will be spread throughout the world. It will be
located in networks and Bulletin Boards Systems you have never
even dreamed of. If it's a shareware program, you may be able to
earn a fair bit of dosh using this proven channel of
distribution!
Do you hate the world? Ventilate your anger! Write to us! Get it
off your chest! Write something for ST NEWS about it and a couple
of thousand people will get to know that you hate the world!
I could go on forever like this. In short, there are no reasons
not to write to us, and even less reasons not to write something
for ST NEWS.
We also love receiving feedback, suggestions and everything else
you might like us sharing your views with.
The address is the following:

My own address - to be used preferably by people who want to get
in touch with me for whatever reason they may deem fit - is the
following:
Richard Karsmakers
Looplantsoen 50
NL-3523 GV Utrecht

The both of us will expect our respective mailboxes to be
attacked by the proverbial flurry of rabid mailmen!
Disclaimer
The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared
in old ST NEWS issues. Please take into consideration that the author(s)
was (were) a lot younger and less responsible back then. So bad jokes,
bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and
tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt. Any contact
and/or payment information, as well as deadlines/release dates of any
kind should be regarded as outdated. Due to the fact that these pages are
