I don't remember the MCI Mail. Turns out that MCI Mail wouldn't benefit because of a quirk in the MCI Mail Fax Dispatch service - you can't send faxes to 800 numbers. I doubt that MCIT would see a blip in their earnings as a result of faxes sent by MCIT indicating a lack of support for Barr.

Have you ever thought that this guy taking FAX messages on his 800 number might be compiling a list of FAX machines he could sell to telemarketers? As to Roseanne Barr's performance -- gripe at the promoter of the event; not at Roseanne. If you hire a comedienne of the grotesque to sing the National Anthem, you get what you paid for. john
