[Moderator's Guffaw: Whew! I hope you don't mind the asterisks in your
message, but this is a family Digest -- I have to keep it clean.  One
of the rules around here for a long time during my predecessor's
tenure in the middle eighties was 'Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of
Judge Greene in Vain'. Jon Solomon did not set that rule, but he
tended to observe it rather than answer to the high-priests of telecom
for publishing heresy in the Digest. I get a lot of mail like yours --
far more than I print -- from people angry at what is finally
beginning to become quite obvious: the telephone network in the USA is
going to (bleep) in a handbasket. What took a century to build and
refine, a judge killed with the stroke of a pen.  PAT]
