I haven't seen any posts from gryphon.com since this forgery. Could it be? Nah. I guess I just read all the wrong newsgroups. :-) -Tom --- Tom Limoncelli The computer industry should spend more time in front of tlimonce@drew.edu (new) their computers.

It was Sexton humor, but the goodbye part was for real. Gryphon is indeed leaving the net. Gryphon has told all of it's neighbors to find other news feeds (that has been taken care of). The users at Gryphon were just unloaded. If and when they resurface, I don't know where it will be, but I'm sure we'll all know when they do. Gryphon was about the only public access usenet site in the LA area. There are lots of sites able to provide feeds, but not many willing to provide public user access. -steve -- Steve Groom, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA stevo@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov {ames,usc}!elroy!stevo

If you can PC Persuit, you can reach us (and lots of others). We don't mind public-access users.... but it's not a "free for all". We do require a donation of sorts (it's not much) for shell/email/normal Netnews access. Or you could call one of the other Chicago-area systems; there are several. Once you have the Pc Persuit, that is....

You can do that here in Chicago too.
