Sorry for the non-Mac content, but... The following was posted to the Grateful Dead list and MedNews. I think it worthwhile to give it the widest possible distribution. From Internet hosts, use your favorite BITNET Gateway, a la <thanks%alaska.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu> tom c ----- Forwarded message # 1: Date: MON MAY 15, 1989 05.28.32 EST From: "-=*REB*=-" <RB00%LEHIGH.BITNET@mitvma.mit.edu> Subject: Say "thanks" to Alaska oil volunteers! The following message was posted on a mainframe here at Lehigh. I think it would be of interest to many net.folk... -------------------------------------------------------------------- The University of Alaska Computer Network has set up a special account so that the VOLUNTEERS (None of these people work for the oil companies, they are doing this for free.) working to help clean up the Prince William Sound oil spill can receive electronic messages of THANKS. Mail sent to THANKS@ALASKA.BITNET is sent to the volunteers. They report that this keeps their spirits up amidst the muck. THANKS is handled by a part-time instructor at Prince William Sound Community College. PLEASE DO NOT FLAME thanks@alaska ABOUT THE SITUATION. Figure out how to flame Exxon instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------- If I know net.folk, the volunteers will now be flooded with messages of praise and goodwill!
