Sorry about the non-MOOiness of this but I really think (presuming it is serious!) It affects the MOO community a lot.  Really dunno If it is just a load of rubbish but here goes.....
PLEASE FORWARD TO OTHER NETWORKS

Most of you are probably aware of a plan to limit free use of
INTERNET to "scientists" transmitting huge files and to start
charging for e-mail.  Apparently, this is the result of private
telecommunications interests putting pressure on the National
Science Foundation.

If this plan is realized, it will mean that the majority of the
approximately 15 million users of INTERNET will be cut off.
Sadly, this is occurring just when the potential of this network
was starting to be realized.

Something must be DONE.  We can not let private interests deprive
us of access to INTERNET.

I suggest that all concerned users register their protest/concern
directly with Clinton and Gore via e-mail.  Their e-mail address
have recently been posted and they are:

Clinton= [email-masked]
Gore = [email-masked]

In addition, I also suggest that we identify the office in the
NSF which is responsible for INTERNET and register electronic
protests with them.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, especially in
locating the e-mail address for the office in the NSF.

Sorry, indeed.
This is a chain letter filled with misinformation.
Never believe anything in all caps.

Send mail to [email-masked] if you want to join a group where the
real (and quite complicated) scoop about these issues is discussed ad nauseum.
