It is at&t's property, not private hardware. I don't know which (if any) of the rumors are true (I even heard it caught fire) but, I'd like to make a statement (knowing that there are hundreds of at&t folks out there.... I have a regular account on killer (versus a BBS account), and have browsed the file systems fairly well, and have never seen anything there that could be construed as proprietory. I have always had respect for at&t company in their willingness to support the USENET as a public service, and for killer's role in almost singlehandedly delivering netnews to the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I have seen nothing offensive there. (Except maybe postings in the "Mark Ethan Smith" category). :-) ^ | corporate execs, this is a funny face. -- Greg Hackney (20 years service in at&t and the bell system) Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.
