Do you REALLY think that MCI had anything to do with posting the ad in
question?  My recollection is that some jerk (Michael Jones, at N. C. State
University Vet School) posted this to net.general, requesting that would-be
subscribers return the form to MCI Service, P. O. Box 37153, Raleigh, NC
27627.  The conclusion drawn from this was that Jones, assuming an
extraordinary level of naivete on the part of net.readers, intended to collect
commisions from MCI for signing up vast numbers of new subscribers.  Contrary
to April 1 speculation, my copy of the article in question indicates that it
was posted on April 3, seemingly ruling out a joke.

Well, it appears that we have Jones' mail address (P. O. Box 37153,
Raleigh, NC  27627).  Any suggestions from the net.readers?
