If you post to this bboard, please DON'T send your message over ARPANET; use the address "...decwrl!glacier!gay@sushi" instead. Although no one seems to complain about using the ARPANET for non-DARPA communications (e.g. SF-LOVERS digest), some people get quite upset when it is used for certain "immoral" or "offensive" purposes. There was a big stink earlier this year when a notice about Stanford's GALA (Gay And Lesbian Awareness) Week was posted via ARPANET to several bboards at UC Berkeley. Don't misunderstand; I think this is all a very silly business. But our GAY bboard is enjoyed by many members of the "Stanford Community," and I don't want to risk losing it, so as one of its two maintainers, I'm willing to put up with a little silliness. -J -- John Reuling ARPANET: REULING@SU-SCORE Stanford University BITNET: FC.JAR@STANFORD Computer Science Dept USENET: decwrl!glacier!navajo!reuling
