PAT] Why not print any letters that say how the system works? Sure, telecommunications fraud is a federal crime, but since all the LD carriers say "the hole is fixed" I see nothing against a little bit of nostalgia. Isn't it time to ignore the crazyness that Americans call law-enforcement and just LEARN ! Rop Gonggrijp (ropg@ooc.uva.nl) is also editor of Hack-Tic (hack/phreak mag.)

You think I should jeopardize my patron (eecs.nwu.edu) and the thousands of sites around the USA which graciously receive and pass along the Digest and/or comp.dcom.telecom just to teach you a thing or two? The hell you say! If its all the same to you, I'll continue to blow my nose with a silk handkerchief. PAT]
