drears@pica.army.mil (Dennis G. Rears (FSAC)) (08/21/90)
Hello everyone. I have set up the list. The list name is <telecom-priv@pica.army.mil> and the request name is <telecome-priv-request@pica.army.mil>. The list will not be able to recieve any mail until 0330 on 21 August. In the meantime you can send submissions to me <drears@pica.army.mil>. I have added about twenty names to the list. Our machines were down over the weekend so mail is still coming to me in bunches (I just received the TELECOM Digest that had my message in it). The list will be unmoderated for now and probably never will unless there is a need for it. Currently right now let's stick to the caller ID subject. I figure this could be a temporary list or if I have Pat's blessing a permament list that concerns non-technical issues of telephone privacy. I will hold off on acknowledging additions to the list until tomorrow. Dennis G.

If it grows substantially, you will want to talk to Chip Rosenthal about possibly distributing it via an alt newsgroup as well. And certainly, you are free to debate telephone privacy all you like! :) By the time this message circulates, your list address should be up and running. You are the second spin-off from TELECOM Digest. For the several inquiries I've had recently, the first of these sub-groups was Computer Underground Digest. The CUD is devoted mainly to the legal and social issues involved with phreaking and computer hacking. Despite the nice things they said about me in today's issue, I shall provide their address once again for those who have not yet subscribed: TK0JUT2@NIU.BITNET PAT]
