   Someone oibjected to the line "Not everyone is on TCP-IP" as part
   of a request for expanded distribution of some informational
   message, saying that everyone hit by the virus was, and that the
   DDN either didn't know what they were saying or they were hiding
   something.

   I believe the misconception is this.  TCP-IP was meant as the
   TCP-IP mailing list from SCORE, not the Internet itself.
   -------

Interesting, the above message (cc'ed to the tcp-ip mailing list) claims to
have come from a RichDeJordy@goldhill.com.  There is no such user here at
Gold Hill and no such user on any of our machines.  Whoever sent this message
has a machine whose mailer does the wrong thing when trying to reply to a 
message.  Who sent this message anyway, was it rad@vax02.ams.com?  If so,
please check your mailer.
