with a means to safely voice their opinions on the net.
    My apologies to the net, and to my company, for the inconvenience.

Numerous individuals notified me that my last articles to the net were
mangled (the old "don't start it with a space" problem).  Since the second
was a retraction of the first, I am only posting the latter:

    I have been requested by my company to rescind the offer to forward
articles to the net.  Use of company property for personal ends is against
Denelcor's company policy.  I assume the objection stems from usage of the
system for the assistance of non-employees, though I must still clarify
whether participating in non-technical discussions constitutes a similar
breach of policy.
    The subject of homosexuality was not raised in our meeting, and I assume
was therefore not a factor in the company's decision.  Denelcor subscribes to
a policy of equal opportunity employment , although the question of sexual
preference is not addressed in this policy.
    I hope that some other individual will provide closeted gays and lesbians
with a means to safely voice their opinions on the net.
    My apologies to the net, and to my company, for the inconvenience.
