A note from the comp.dcom.telecom gateway administrator...

I have just noticed that I have been stealing credit from other authors!
This is not intentional.

This has happened whenever the author of a message was identified with a
"bang path".  When I break out and post such a message, inews silently
rejects the "From" line and replaces it with a legal address, namely
mine.  I will modify the telecom undigestifier program to hack these paths
into a legal address which will (hopefully) lead back to the author.

I apologize to all authors whose writings have been credited to me, and
all others for any confusion caused.
