Message-ID: <10773@saturn.ADS.COM> Date: 8 Feb 90 20:25:57 GMT References: <7875@cbnewsh.ATT.COM> Organization: Advanced Decision Systems, Mt. View, CA (415) 960-7300 Lines: 32 I was informed when this call was posted that it can be difficult from many points on the net to mail directly to "att.com"; why I don't know, but that routing through sun.com will work. Seems like att.com is a poor place to be using as a vote gathering site if that be true. I tried this, and it hasn't bounced yet: bobs%houxa.att.com@sun.com but with a site like att.com, with poor connectivity and mail routing (by its own choice, history reminds us), we are sure to see lots of postings saying: "my mail vote bounced, I vote NO", which is a pity, since it will cut down on the overwhelming mandate not to trash out "sci." with yet another non-research, discussion-oriented group. Get those NO votes rolling in! If ever there were an occasion when email needed a flood algorithm, this is surely the time! Don't let your complete indifference as to whether the proponents of this fiasco ever draw another breath keep you from administering the rap upside the head with a brick that you know in your heart they deserve!
