Re:   MOG-UR update!!!

I just learned through a phonecall from Tom Tcimpidis, Sysop of the
Mog-ur's San Fernando Valley HBBS that as of today, June 18th, 1984,
that the  L.A. City Attorney declined to file charges of mis-demeanor.
Evidentally it was realized that the case was very questionable for
charges based on the tactics that were used by the complaintants for
revealing the alleged illegal information.  Horray for Tom!

For some interesting reading, see Issues 25, 26, & 27 of Infoworld.

Tom's equipment and media should be returned to him within
forty-eight hours.
