# S'not online
Transcribed from the letters page:

Sir,
This is quite funny actually; You mention on page 20 (letters) that Mustafa Koc is the Chairman of Koc Holding. You may be interested to know that according to the B3ta newsletter 180 (www.b3ta.com/newsletter/issue180) said company is the parent of the Turkish firm "Arcelic". Apologies if you've seen that before.
Keep up the good work, &c,
DAFYDD YOUNG,
via email

Edit When did b3ta get uprated from 'puerile' to 'anarchic'?

Anyway, I quite liked being a 'proud member of the puerile digital arts community'.
