Message-ID: <343@hou5h.UUCP> Date: Fri, 8-Jun-84 13:25:19 EDT Article-I.D.: hou5h.343 Posted: Fri Jun 8 13:25:19 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 9-Jun-84 08:09:12 EDT References: <1173@qubix.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Information Systems Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ Lines: 10 I cannot help but see an analogy with the physical origins from which CBBs take their names, namely real bulletin boards, ya know, with pins, cork etc. Does this folly really mean that universities, supermarkets, businesses, etc. that provide public bulletin boards are liable for the consequences of the messages posted, liable for seizure of their bulletin board???? My (non-lawyer) mind just can't fathom that thinking. Bill Wetzel - WRW & Co.- Little Silver, N.J.
