    Приветствую вас, дорогие поклонники PROTON'а!

    На сей раз к данному классуsomeone joined Tertius Gau-
dens  from Lvov, for which we congratulate him. I don't know how long ago he
loved our newspaper, but recently his violent emotions about
PROTON'and they poured over the edge. Unable to contain my happiness
every time he looked at the newspaper, he decided to share it with someone
joy.  But there was no one. (Apparently all his friends were on
dacha or drank beer, etc.) And then he decided to share with everyone

    In the article ZX-OBOS  he showed extraordinary knowledge of the content

that there are such people.

such a necessity, because no one calculated the average volume of a newspaper.

    From TG (may he not be offended by such an abbreviation, because I already
I'm tired of writing his very long name) I found out that Moscow

spektrumists, and not only them, I draw a conclusion about our specific
ness.

    The excessive use of quotation marks in the text is also inexplicable,
written TG. Since when is the word "thriller" written in quotation marks?
kah at its direct meaning? In reality there are more quotes
suitable for the title of the heading"ZX-OBOT" OPTRON #17,where placed
"review" RIP'a and PROTON'a.

    In general, many newspapers love thrillers, for example, OPTRON.Ci-

I'm tearing it up. Phew, it's brightened up a little..." Why not a thriller?

    By the way, I appreciated the author’s sense of humor,
who said about the music that was played in the newspaper: "Nah, nothing

the following: "Excerpts from..." I don’t know where TG decided that I
was involved in rewriting books, so I take full responsibility
I declare: "This text is my creation and my creation alone, and
These books were only the primary source of some information."

    From OPTRON'a I learned that the BBS list PROTON'a duplicates the
juiceNICRON'a.  It would be very interesting in this case to hear
from TG answers to two questions:

1.  How does this happen when the lists are in NICRON and PROTON
led by different people?

2.  As in PROTON 47, we managed to copy the list from NIC-
RON when he's not there???

 I'm waiting for answers.

    At the end, the author makes an interesting statement: “Let me ask...
obvious question: is it really in order to find out information like
placed in the reviewed issue, you MUST need ZX-gas-
ta?"  Letdear TG will answer where else, besides the ZX newspaper, he
will see BBS news, an article about astrology, jokes and more
UUE code?

    In conclusion, let me ask a naive question already from my own
her side: “What should be in the ZX newspaper”? I just ask TG not
answer, because I already know his answer: “Of course, discussion
other newspapers"!

    True, there is another version, but it is doubtful. In ZX-gas-
