And actually Peter, CUD (it came first) and TELECOM-PRIVACY (second) were
not from any difference of opinion ... they are a couple of guys who
volunteered to help me when I was literally buried with lots of very long
articles on pirating, phreaking, hacking, caller id, etc .... stuff I
would have loved to handle in the Digest if we were not so always backed
up with mail. So Jim Thomas and Dennis Rears volunteered to pick up on
those topics. Everyone on my mailing list got notified to sign up on those
two lists as well if desired.
