This chapter explores the reliability of information within networked communication systems, particularly newsgroups, in the context of a universe where truth can be obscured by distance, time, and differing Zones. It discusses how proprietary newsgroups with known members might maintain a semblance of objective truth, contrasting with the generally deceptive nature of the Net. The chapter also considers the role of groups like the Aprahanti in disrupting such trustworthy communication channels to preserve their secrecy.
