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.
