I'm a bit cranky about things today. My voice mail is broken and I'm missing important messages. I'm going to sign up for a commercial voice mail account today -- although I may go for the second phone line whenever this silly strike ends. Did you hear about the NETel (NYNEX) cable being cut in East Bridgewater Mass??? NYNEX is offering a 50,000 dollar reward for info. Some striking SOB cut the wire. I have a feeling there is disagreement on who is "right" in this strike thing. The union people are being total twits. They negotiated years ago and agreed that they would contribute to health coverage. Now they are striking on that exact point. Twits!. -- Steve Elias -- eli@chipcom.com (for Chipcom / networking related mail) -- eli@spdcc.com (for metroboston email2fax and personal mail) -- voice mail: broken (send email to both addresses if you like) -- work phone: 617 890 6844

Since you obviously know that the cable was cut by a striker (rather than a company goon, some random vandal, etc.), you must have been an eyewitness to the act. I suggest you contact your local law enforcement authorities immediately and tell them what you saw. Don't forget about that juicy reward money, either.

Mike Trout accuses me of being an eyewitness when the NYNEX strikers allegedly cut some trunks in East Bridgewater, MA. The reward money does sound awfully juicy, Mike -- but nobody gets rewards for pointing out the obvious. I think this is another case of two plus two equals four. (Though you could also allege that management cats cut the cables so they could get paid even more overtime than they already are getting.) Again, my original comments were posted inadvertently.
