>and got out. Rick, you're confused. Many of the "anti-COS" people on this newsgroup are *not* ex-members. For example: Scott Goehring (who STARTED this newsgroup), Christi Rockwell, Tarla, Barbara Snow, Modemac, Jon Noring, Rod Keller, Bob "Sloth" Bingham, Tilman, Daniel Davidson, David Dennis, Nico Garcia, Rachel Kadel, Lisa Pardy, Deana Holmes, and yours truly. (My apologies to anyone who I've misidentified, and especially to all the people I've left out.)

A lot of us are here simply because the COS attacked the Net. We'd go to any newsgroup that discussed an entity that attacked the Net, until the attack stopped. -- Ron Newman Email: <rnewman@mit.edu> Web: <a href="http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/rnewman/home.html">http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/rnewman/home.html</a>(I speak only for myself, not for any part of MIT.)
