I'm looking back with fondness to the days before alt.privacy, when what
I read in comp.org.eff.talk wasn't a shadow of comp/alt.dcom.telecom or
other groups to the extent that it is now.
The "law school is boring" and "mailing lists are evil" seem like a lot of
rehash(oldhash, newplayers) calls. Can we put the EFF back in eff.talk,
and cut down on the cross-posts from alt.privacy?
I imagine that I'll soon be hearing from some crispy critters... Now where's
my autographed copy of John Haugh's Snappy Answers to Net Messages? ;-)

In-Reply-To: message from bei@dogface I think that all topics that are of concern to the EFF should be discussed here, since I don't have access to the telecom or privacy newsfeeds. This is purely a selfish consideration on my part. :-) ____________________________________________________________________ / | | \ |SMOF-BBS 512-467-7317 PCP=TXAUS |UUCP: crash!pro-smof!shiva | __|__ | |Proline: shiva@pro-smof |"The World's First Online | \_|_/ | |Internet: shiva@pro-smof.cts.com| Science Fiction Convention"| | | \________________________________|____________________________|______/

This > is purely a selfish consideration on my part. :-) The comp.dcom.telecom newsgroup has an associated mailing list for those who don't get c.d.t. (or who don't have Usenet access at all.) There is also a privacy related offshoot of the telecom list, telecom-priv. I'm not up on whether alt.privacy has a mailing list to go with it or not. Not long after alt.privacy was started, I saw a message by its creator that asked for restraint in crossposts to comp.org.eff.talk. I appreciate the concern, but regret that everybody has ignored the request. -- Bob Bob Izenberg cs.utexas.edu!dogface!bei [ ] "So young, so bad... So what!" 512 346 7019 Wendy O. Williams
