Sources
tHIS TOpic is actually written about in newspapers etcetera, so it's probably verifiable if we can get archives from '99. I don't really care actually, so nevermind.
Our sources don't seem to verify the Frankie Bones story. If we can't find good sources for that there would be nothing wrong with revising the article to say that the specific origin of PLUR (much like that of the Raver's Manifesto - does it deserve its own article? I get 234 hits for "raver's manifesto" and 557 hits for "ravers manifesto" on clusty) is unknown. Also, I don't think this article should be offering special definitions for "peace" "love" "unity" "respect" when there is no clear "raver/PLUR definition" of those terms out there. Let's just link to the words themselves and leave it at that. Heqs 01:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Origins
i put the origins section back in, because it was a key part of the article. that newsgroup discussion was created in 1996, only 5 years after Frankie Bones brought the scene to NYC. It is highly likely to be correct. In any case, it is documented first person testimonial, great evidence.
Grandmaster Flash
What about the use of PLU on Grandmaster Flash's 1986 song "P.L.U. (Peace Love and Unity)" on the album The Source? Wouldn't that pre-date Frankie Bones' use of it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXQ201jAjVs
