On Monday the 15th, I sent mail to

That was true, on Monday I emailed "analysis" the 2nd part of the code...

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.

**note that it is cc'd to my other email address?!? the only
thing common between the two is MY NAME...and they sent me this
right after i posted about being left out of the real responses...
someone here is a mole, or there is an observer here from Credit Dauphine.

Just for the record, as an experiment I tried emailing analysis

that I primarily use for this game) and I got this back:

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:

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...

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?)

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."

Met with rulerfrog online tonight. They invited me into a private room on Yahoo. Here's the log of the exchange.
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.

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
