That was true, on Monday I emailed "analysis" the 2nd part of the code... and got silence. Until today.

Dear Online Client,

Thank you for your request. Password authentication is a process requiring that a lengthy set of criteria be met.

If you are reading this mail, then your request for authentication has definitely been received, and you will be contacted at the e-mail address from which you submitted -- if, and only if, your credit profile exceeds our standards for clearance.

"How It Pays..." to be patient, sometimes... And your patience is sincerely appreciated.

  FYI, none of the email auto-responses have changed as of right now. Analysis still gives a 'receipt', Syd, Marshall & Dixon all give  messages.  Jack, Sloane & Steven Gordon all receive the message but have no autoresponse, and no mailboxes exist for Horace Flinkman & Jeremy Alexander.

ok, i will admit to having doubted whether rulerfrog was part
 of the puzzle, but i have been converted.
 yesterday i sent analysis an email telling them that their game
 was getting really boring, and this is their reply:

  Hi, just saw your first message now.  The true wheel is where my page is hosted. It is going to be about poetry I think, but I don't have time these days -- cos  I'm getting something like a million emails a day!!  Just kidding. More like a thousand...

  Sand..

  Joy Division are fantastic aren't they. Anyway, the Followers thing. I learned that they're very...private. And although there's a website at a .org, the website doesn't always reflect the views of the people who are in control... which you know is so typical on the web. It's like if I took out the name joydivision.com, and everyone suddenly assumed I was Ian Curtis...
  Please take care, and tell others to take care as well. I have received dozens of emails on this subject, and have no real answer why so suddenly... but it does concern me a little...

Rambaldi Site AOL Addresses and Instant Messages

signalost
 As a part of the game, I just IMed SydK but it seems that the screen
  name may not be part of the game. I asked if the Eye and The Hand are
  now one and the same. There was no response and I was put on his
  ignore list ten minutes later. Its profile is from Texas, but the Rambaldi
  site says he's from Port Orchard, WA. So other AOL names that don't
  mention the <o> mark may not be part of the game and lead to bothering
  unsuspecting peoples...

  Using a friend's AOL access, here are a list of screen names suspects (if
  they do exist):

  KDirectorate
  (Could be mistaken but thought she had a profile a few months ago)

  Gyernik
  rambaldi17
  eyehand
  Sydk (Not really in the game?)
  huizit

  Personal Quote: until we have made our mark, our day is dark...

I did see Kdirectorate on AIM today. I got the same response as posted by someone else who had a conversation with "them".

  November 8, 2001
  [12:52 AM] switchflipper8: Hi
  [12:53 AM] switchflipper8: <0>
  [12:53 AM] switchflipper8: Tell me about Rambaldi.
  [12:53 AM] Kdirectorate: Hand to the Eye.
  [12:54 AM] switchflipper8: Can you point me to the Eye?
  [12:57 AM] switchflipper8: Hand to the Eye?

  If anyone is online right now, they're still on AIM. It's one of the AOL addresses on the Rambaldi forum.

  On the followers site, theres: from the eye <0> to the hand So, from the eye <0> to the hand.. Hand to the Eye. Perhaps this is a greeting of some sort?
 "From the Eye to the Hand."
 "Hand to the Eye."

  i emailed kdirajor after seeing him online.  this is the response i received today:

 You are in "RF:1" ( Welcome )
 switchflipper joined the room
 rulerfrog: Thank you for meeting with me.
  switchflipper: No problem.
  rulerfrog: You've been very persistent in pursuing the program lately.
  switchflipper: *nod*
  rulerfrog: I need to tell you something.
  switchflipper: Do tell.
  rulerfrog: Would you like to hear it?
 switchflipper: Yes, I would!
  switchflipper: Can you provide me with any insight on this 'program'?
  rulerfrog: http://www.thewatcherz.com/sources/barc4.jpg
  rulerfrog: Have you read this already?
 switchflipper: Yes, I've seen that.
  rulerfrog: Well, there's more.
  rulerfrog: The good news is -- The program is very far ahead of
  schedule, and we have almost collected all necessary information.
 rulerfrog: The bad news is -- The program will be officially
  terminated within the next week.
  switchflipper: Hrm..
  rulerfrog: Please prepare the others.

  Thank you for the kind e-mail regarding the news site. As far  as whether there is truth to the articles I post ~ That's for the readers to decide... I only supply the info which I feel is often  neglected by the mainstream press (some of it is pretty  entertaining as well). That e-mail you received directing you to the site is quite odd, though I'm not familiar with the  sender... If someone out there is publicizing my site, I assure  you they don't work for me. However, it does explain a few odd things lately. Thanks for the heads up.

  Subj: Re: question
  Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2002 10:05:38 PM Eastern Standard Time
  From: The Watcher <rulerfrog@yahoo.com>
 

  Thanks for the email. No, I don't advertise the
  website anywhere -- people more or less find it by
  word of mouth. As far as story submissions go -- I
  get links sent to me all the time, and I pick the ones
  I think are interesting and/or relevant
  (intelligence/espionage/military, politics,
  "conspiracies", science & technology, or whatever...)
  On occasion, people will write and submit their own
  articles via email -- of course I give them full
  credit if they are posted on the site. For these, all
  I ask is coherent writing and decent punctuation (I'm
  not an editor.) If you have anything to submit please
  send it in -- it saves me the work of digging up
  material.

  Regards,
  The Watcher
