[comp.society] Lotus Marketplace "Households" withdrawn

After heated debate in the industry, Lotus Corporation announced
last week that they have withdrawn the Lotus Marketplace "Households"
CDROM product from the market and have no further plans to sell the
information in the future.   They commented to the Wall Street
Journal that they spent quite a bit of money on educating the public
about the "perceived but incorrect" dangers of the product, but that
public sentiment was still very against the dissemination of the
information collated in the Households disk.
