Why do people think assaulting an innocent newsgroup will help?? Flooding it with noise or denying access of it to your users won't do *ANYTHING* to help! At most it will confirm "their" opinion that readers of alt.drugs are mindless, drugged out idiots. Likewise, bashing on AT&T won't help either. The problem lies with the NNAB. If you want to do something constructive, send mail to: Bill Holland cblpf!holland 8-353-4906 614-860-4906 Please make your letter polite, tactful, and concise. Bear in mind that *anyone* could be reading it!! (think of Ian Ross as part of your audience!!!) Those of you who don't work for AT&T, we'd appreciate your support as well! -Mike Mulligan ho95c!mike or mike@ho95c.ATT.COM
