At June, 20th 2002 beehive has declared insolvency. Hence, beehive cannot legally do business of any kind. Left behind were a 100.000 in debt and unpaid beehive employees who also wrote zopemag articles. A week ago, Mark Brat, ex-beehive CEO, posted a news-item at zope.org, asking for writers to help publish in beehives zopemag. Now that's what I call chutzpah! To the best of my knowledge this makes Mark Brat a fraud, a criminal, by german law. Layout, prose, and content of zopemag/writefor indicate a dire need for page design, lectorate, and writers. What has happened? Everybody who had done business with Mark Brat went away disappointed and disgusted, saying "Never again!". He's a rich parents single kid (who baught him beehive, after which beehives staff slowly evaporated), school drop-out, good-at-nothing except shmoozing, a complete failure as a manager and salesman, bossing around like an uneducated pimp, lazy, greedy, no scruples, good at lying into your face, a con-man selling stuff he does not have and will not deliver. Without him, Zope could well be much more popular in germany. Lacking economic success, zopemag was a last scheme, basically a community rip-off. When it was announced, the archives contain the valid concerns raised then. For would be writers: Do You want to earn money? A 4-page article gets you $100. How much time to write 4 pages *in-depth insight* without blah-blah? Do You want to make Yourself/zope more famous/popular? Both ok. With a closed threescore paying audience? For subscribers: You waited long time for delivery. You did not get what you paid for. Both in quantity and quality. Former articles so far rarely contained stuff not alreday accessible if you RTFM or STFW. Other content has debatable value relevant to zope, or stops were *deep insight* might start. Your money has been spent on frequent flyer miles, expensive drinks in topless bars, and what else a dickhead needs to feed his ego. Nothing left for articles. But help is on the way!
