I wonder if anyone else has noticed that the whole net in general is probably not the same in all parts of the country. I've spoken to a few people who have seen different messages than I. I wasn't even disconnected from the net (ie still getting current stuff) but I never saw that message about that awful rumour until the responses to it. I suppose there's not a whole heck of alot one can do, but I wonder how localized our messages are, like do we only get half of the messages posted from the west coast. But I hope that it's safe to assume that the rumour was only a rumour. In case my last plea for richmond tickets didn't get out to all, I'm at 201-829-4409. --Ed Donofrio "It could be an illusion but I might as well try"

> I never saw that > message about that awful rumour until the responses to it. I don't know about ALL your net problems, but THIS one I can answer. It's because the original article was posted to net.rumor, NOT to net.music.gdead. Only the FOLLOWUPS got posted in this group. --Greg -- {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!noao | harpo!seismo | ihnp4!noao} !hao!woods CSNET: woods@NCAR ARPA: woods%ncar@CSNET-RELAY "I don't know, but I've been told, it's hard to run with the weight of gold On the other hand I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead"
