LIBRARIAN
WE LOVE THE ARSCC LIBRARIAN!
17 December 1997:
ZED VS. THE LIBRARIAN-3
In their third round of "Stump the Librarian" (strip version), Zed asks about the "d.b.a." (doing business as) ficticious name "L. Ron Hubbard Library" that had been used both by Norman F. Starkey and the corporation called "Church of Spiritual Technology" (CST), home of Sherman Lenske and friends.
From: nobody@zeta.org.au (The Galactic Overlord Remailer) Subject: ZED VS. THE LIBRARIAN-3 Date: 1997/12/17 Message-ID: <6782m3$p1q$1@godzilla.zeta.org.au> Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology In trying to STUMP THE LIBRARIAN regarding the Public Research Foundation's Press Release, "HIDDEN TIES BETWEEN IRS AND SCIENTOLOGY REVEALED," Zed leaned seductively over the mahogany reference counter and said: >Hm...is CST also referred to as the "L Ron Hubbard Library"? GOOD QUESTION, ZED, BUT...YOU DIDN'T STUMP THE LIBRARIAN! Below is a TEXT rendition of the d.b.a. filed by Sherman Lenske on 27 December, 1993. Note that the date the registrant (CST) commenced to do business under the fictitious name "L. Ron Hubbard Library" was 29 November, 1993. Does the date ring any bells, sweetie-face? Hint: see the first post I made re: transfer of copyrights for over 7,000 titles. Here's the text: "RECORDING REQUESTED BY AND MAIL TO: NAME SHERMAN D.

(etc.-boring legal junk) ---------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: This is a public record that anybody can get from the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office. BONUS NOTE: This only cost them $10.00. EXTRA BONUS NOTE: CST started doing business as "L. Ron Hubbard Library" while Norman F. Starkey was also operating under the *same* fictitious business name--"L. Ron Hubbard Library." There's a d.b.a. for Starkey, also recorded by Sherman Lenske, that was filed on 30 January 1989, and didn't expire until 30 January 1994. <Tsk> These are *bad* *boys*. --------------------------------------------------------------- NICE TRY, THOUGH, ZED, AND COME BACK *ANY* TIME TO PLAY... STUMP THE LIBRARIAN. Now, *take it off* Zed! (I *did* tell you this was a strip challenge, didn't I?) --<The ARSCC Librarian> ---------------------------------------------------------------- *The ARSCC, like its satin-lace-and-silk librarian, does not exist. |
