The discussion concerning Larry Lippman and where we works may be of some value to some people, but it is not appropriate for the News Administrator or Systems Administrator's newsgroups. These groups get world wide distribution, and I have my doubts whether places like Japan or Yugoslavia really have a pressing need to know this information. I understand that these questions grew out of a discussion about net "censorship", which is a valid concern. The discussion has left that realm, however, and is best carried out in another group. I might suggest soc.net-people would be more appropriate.

Regrettably, the discussion has to do with proposed threats to individuals and/or sites on the net by a person claiming some form of position with or secondment to the U.S. Federal Government. To date, this seems to consist to harassment only. Yes, a more suitable group should probably be found. I would suggest that soc.net-people is inappropriate. --dave (YUCK!
