Keep those junk faxes > going to your elected representatives, folks. I don't understand. Are you a supporter of junk fax? That would seem to be the inferrence from your encouragement towards that activity. But if you support junk fax, it would seem counterproductive to harass legislators who might become irritated enough to strike back. If you support legislation against junk fax, then I would assume that our elected representatives are already aware of the problem, their fax machines being overrun with unsolicited advertisements. What I'm trying to say is that either there is a problem or there isn't. If there is, you don't need to create a situation with faxing campaigns. If there isn't, then those who are so concerned with junk fax need to get a life and move on. John Higdon | P. O. Box 7648 | +1 408 723 1395 john@zygot.ati.com | San Jose, CA 95150 | M o o !
