Message-ID: <288@bbncca.ARPA> Date: Tue, 8-Nov-83 20:07:09 EST Article-I.D.: bbncca.288 Posted: Tue Nov 8 20:07:09 1983 Date-Received: Wed, 9-Nov-83 23:33:44 EST References: <111@drux.UUCP> Organization: Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Cambridge, Ma. Lines: 13 It might be helpful to remember that places of employment are, at best, benevolent tyrannies, and not democracies. While I think it's sad that AT&T Denver removed all netnews, I also feel that it's their prerogative to follow any policy they like. I think that 'net.general' is an inappropriate place to discuss, um, corporate dirty linen. Talk to your boss, send a message to your management, talk to someone who can make a difference. But don't try to make a public issue out of it. This will only polarize the situation, and it won't change a thing. /Steve Dyer decvax!bbncca!sdyer
