·■ RANCiD presents the february 1995 pack ■·

This month's pack has a strong focus towards the literature section of
the group. We've picked up a some very talented members, and have had a
flush of distribution site applications come in. Finally, we are releasing
on the first of each month.

It has been brought to our attention that one of our ex-members
(Genocide) has ripped the "R" in our old member listing from a "Razor
Couriering" font done a while back. Genocide has sinse been removed from
Rancid. We would like to offer our apoligies to the original artist of this

Reality and I have been faced with the distribution problem and decided
to start tackling it this month. We decided that most groups designate
sites for the soul purpose of giving them a title and saying "Hey, look! We
have THIS board that supports us!" It seems to be one of the many little
problems currently eating away at the ansi scene. Rancid does not want to
join in these politcal battles and has decided to use distribution sites
for two purposes:

a. to distribute our work to all ends of the globe &
b. to stay in contact with all of our members on a regular basis

In order to facilitate these purposes, we have decided to make a couple
changes. One, we have made Creators' Network (our main method of
communication) mandatory for all of our sites. Second, the BBS must now
have a file area for Rancid releases *and* for Rancid uploads. The uploads
base will be used to receive applications and submissions from current
members. Couriers will call all sites to pick up whatever is in the upload
area on the 28th of each month. For applications, if a speedy response is
desired, it is suggested the person still call the whq, Terrapin Station.

Happily, we are starting to receive responses from people. Improvement
is the basis for Rancid, and we encourage everyone to send us their thoughts
(on anything pertaining to the group). Post a message on Creators' Network,
contact a member directly, or send email to "mdickey@qrvlppp48.epix.net".
