buy an oil platform. live on it. hold a foreign dignitary hostage
when that country's army tyries to pry you off of it. sell passports,
stamps, and coins to make money.
btw, the office of the u.s. geographer logs all secession claims
within u.s. borders.

The guy who's doing HavenCo used to log in to M-Net. Used to be pretty
active back in the late 80s.

It's much harder to achieve sovereignty now than it used to be.
I wonder if M-Net should get a mirror site on Sealand. I bet Sean would
do it for us.

Well, if you're having trouble getting to Livonia, I doubt putting mnet off
the coast of Britain will help much... ;)

re 1; how do you know the geographer's office register's seccession claims?
It's not like you can call up city hall and ask how you can secede. On the
unlikely chance that they would take you seriously, the FBI would be on your
ass in minutes.

Re #6: On the other hand, HavenCo has good security and new machines.

The staff could sail there on the M-net Yacht "Patron Fees" to make
the required service calls.

I thought the _Patron Fees_ disappeared over the edge of the world?

The sea monsters coughed it up after we promised them some old
motherboards and an ISDN modem.

I was just reading about Havenco on the internet. I hadnt realized it was such
a big deal. The only thing I can say is that the whole thing is very Sean.
I guess a lot of people are trying to get his sister to put them in contact
with him. Very weird.

Too funny. It's not like Havenco is hard to find -- they have their own
website and stuff.

I have never had any trouble getting in touch with him. In fact, sometimes
I have had the opposite problem *snort* ;)
Joe knows why I find this whole thing very weird. Actually, I find it totally
funny although I am not sure why. I keep laughing everytime I hear about it.

What's the untold story here?

I'm not sure what Lynne means, if there's a specific unknown story, but she
used to date Sean, so she knew him quite well. He and I used to hang around
a lot too. If you know him, the idea of him going off and doing something
like this is just, well, too perfect. I mean, if I had to pick someone I knew
as "most likely to found a data haven on an offshore artillery platform with
claims to national independence," it would have been Sean hands down.

Oh yeah, Joe is totally right on about that. This whole thing is *crazy* and
yet it is so in character for Sean to be involved with something like this.
I just think it is funny that it is getting so much media attention.

Of course, the other thing about Sean is that, most of the time, he actually
gets away with stuff. He's no idiot, and he has a lot of friends who aren't
idiots either.
