Below is a copy of a message received from the Arpa/Milnet Network Information Center (NIC) on the subject of advertising. Persons posting messages from other networks which are gatewayed to Arpa/Milnet should also avoid posting "for sale" messages or we will loose our permission to gateway to/from net.micro.cpm. --Keith Petersen Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA GEmail: W8SDZ uucp: {ihnp4,allegra,cmcl2,dual,decvax,mcnc,mcvax,vax135}!seismo!w8sdz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [From NIC@SRI-NIC.ARPA] The policy as it now stands is that nobody should do any sort of advertising on the net without prior approval from the Defense Communications Agency. There is also not to be any job soliciting done across the net. If such a thing is done on a person's BBoard, they sould not send any resulting messages on to any other BBoard. For more explicit directions on this topic you could contact Wayne Grindle (Grindle@DDN1) at the Defense Communications Agency DDN Program Management office, Code B627 in Washington, DC 20305. His phone number is (703)285-5045. Hope this gives you a flavor of what you were asking. Regards, Michele at NIC
