Ok, if it exists and no one has it, skam 1 is possibly floating out in space somewhere (maybe taken up by the last space shuttle and ejected out), or it was made and all the copies were destroyed, or it is just a figment of people's imagination, or maybe a joke, or maybe just a philosophical problem---> "it exists but no one has it".....or?

Maybe Skam1 was purely psychological...a release that is simply known by name, because that's exactly what it is. By asking for it, you have it. Ooo...how ambient of me.

list. that is possible you know. not everyone has a computer >and an internet hookup and lots of idle time to kill. No way. SOMEONE on this list would have it. As I see it, there are two options on this one: A) It was never really released. B) It was released, but after Grant said his copy was stolen, all other owners kept mum about their secret treasure for fear of the same fate. Missing only Q-chastic, Andrew

how about "no one has it" as in no one gets the joke that it doesn't exist. it seems pretty likely to me that SKAM refers to the non-existence of catalogue number 1 just to piss of the spotters out there. once this is widely known amongst the spotters it ceases to be of concern to them and the SKAM ceases to exist, hence the secrecy. this makes a good conspiracy theory because even if greg and other "official" sources deny this theories truth then it actually adds to the evidence of its truth! oh that was easy... therefore black is white and i get killed on the next zebra crossing blah blah who gives a shit back to the mucus piece, florian dachut@isc.gov.au ps u know this list is going downhill when people r talking about hyper gogo's high and not using the words "sux really badly" in the same sentence
