Neal, by posting to comp.sys.att, you just piss off a bunch of people
who have nothing whatsoever to do with AT&T.  

Speaking for myself, (and it's reasonable to assume others), I own
an AT&T computer.  I don't work for them, nor do I care to.  I have one
of their computers because it was the cheapest real Unix that I could
find.  I don't care about whether or not AT&T is fascist, sexist, racist
anti-drug supporting, or anything as concerns the news group comp.sys.att

comp.sys.att is a bunch of USERS!!!  Just like you.  Only we use 
AT&T computers.  We want to talk about AT&T computers.  Please, 
gripe about AT&T elsewhere, we don't care.  What's more important
is we CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!  NADA, NICHTS, ZILCH.

So, being blunt, leave us alone.
