PLEASE, anyone willing to quote, report, reply to Piercarlo's articles, should read this and possibly report it as well. I've been mentioned inside an article without knowing, so THIS is my disclaimer. (sorry guys) In article <PCG.91Jan14204408@odin.cs.aber.ac.uk>, pcg@cs.aber.ac.uk (Piercarlo Grandi) writes: > Some people have expressed skepticism.

The situation has changed many times since then, not always getting better. 1- I *no *longer want to be involved in discussions about the monopoly of eunet or whatever european network. Please let me OUT of these public discussions, they don't lead to anything. I am not willing to be pointed at like the pioneer of any kind of 'revolution'. All i can say is that at that time i was younger and stupid enough to start such a debate. I wouldn't do it again anyway. 2- I had enough troubles and already paid for what i consider stupid youth's mistakes. Again, let me out of this discussion. 3- Finally, please do not cope my name with Sublink Network. Sublink is now a real organization, i'm just a host, i'm not president, chairman or whatever. Sublink officially exists since september 1989; those articles are dated january 89. That sublink is *very different from the one i'm on now. 4- I can't speak for sublink now, and those articles of mine can't speak for the 'official' sublink as well. Sincerely, Paolo Ventafridda
