I, personally, find this level of attack way,way below the level of previous rabble rousing ( RE Scott & Alex out in California) and totally out of place in this forum (the NET not net.flame). The net is primarily an ideas function, not of action, and boycotts of any kind are childish squealing at not being able to get your own way. What would you do if anyone at AT&T decided to use this forum to "persuade" all users not to use any other long distance carriers or pull their resources from the net ? If you Laurie ( and you too Chuq [ I didn't see a disclaimer ;-) ] ) personally feel that you want to financially hurt X number of DEC employees ( & their families) this way fine , go ahead, don't try and justify it or blame Don Black for a point of view that's contrary to your own for getting REAL SLEAZY !!!!! Do not take this article to be a pro or con view of any of Don Blacks articles ! If anyone (large corporations included) wants to know my opinion please send $ 19.95 to P.O.
