In article <11749@accuvax.nwu.edu> motcid!segal@uunet.uu.net (Gary

Oh oh!  Now we've done it!  We've gotta be on somebody's list as a
bunch of dangerous hackers, able to take down a court's phone system
on a whim.  And since this was arranged over a computer -- worse, over
a computer NETWORK -- we're probably a grave threat to the national
security.

Let us know when the Secret Service gets there, Pat.  I wonder if they
can confiscate the entire Internet?  1/4 :-)
