************************************************************ * Attention All EUNICE Users! * ************************************************************ The Wollongong Group (TWG) is pleased to clarify the Electronic Modification Request Service -- USENET issue. The Electronic Modification Request Service (EMRS) The TWG announcement of the Electronic Modification Request System has spawned a great deal of USENET discussion and critique. In a sincere effort to put these fears at rest TWG would like to clarify this issue of commercial USENET abuse. Our announcement did not state that USENET traffic would be the method for customers reporting Modification Requests, nor did it state that USENET would not be used. The overall assumption, however, was the former. For the record, TWG will not allow our customer base to send in their modification requests using USENET paths, nor will TWG use USENET paths to acknowledge or respond to our customers. Our purpose is to announce the option of Electronic Modification Requests and find out which Eunice customers have operational connections to USENET. TWG intends to utilize direct UUCP connections with our customers. For more information please write to the TWG USENET contact at the address below. TWG appreciates the critique of our announcement to net.eunice and apologizes for the misunderstanding. Anne Wunderlich (twg!anne) The Wollongong Group, Inc.
