Message-ID: <171@denelcor.UUCP> Date: Mon, 17-Oct-83 21:25:13 EDT Article-I.D.: denelcor.171 Posted: Mon Oct 17 21:25:13 1983 Date-Received: Wed, 19-Oct-83 21:17:15 EDT Organization: Denelcor, Aurora, CO Lines: 21 Numerous individuals notified me that my last articles to the net were mangled (the old "don't start it with a space" problem). Since the second was a retraction of the first, I am only posting the latter: I have been requested by my company to rescind the offer to forward articles to the net. Use of company property for personal ends is against Denelcor's company policy. I assume the objection stems from usage of the system for the assistance of non-employees, though I must still clarify whether participating in non-technical discussions constitutes a similar breach of policy. The subject of homosexuality was not raised in our meeting, and I assume was therefore not a factor in the company's decision. Denelcor subscribes to a policy of equal opportunity employment , although the question of sexual preference is not addressed in this policy. I hope that some other individual will provide closeted gays and lesbians with a means to safely voice their opinions on the net. My apologies to the net, and to my company, for the inconvenience.
