I wholeheartedly agree with Jeff Sonntag about Laurie Seftons 
suggestion to financially castigate Don Black through DEC
salespersons. I, personally, find this level of attack way,way
below the level of previous rabble rousing ( RE Scott & Alex
out in California) and totally out of place in this forum (the
NET not net.flame). The net is primarily an ideas function, not
of action, and boycotts of any kind are childish squealing at 
not being able to get your own way. What would you do if anyone at
AT&T decided to use this forum to "persuade" all users not to use
any other long distance carriers or pull their resources from the 
net ? 

If you Laurie ( and you too Chuq [ I didn't see a disclaimer ;-) ] )
personally feel that you want to financially hurt X number of DEC
employees ( & their families) this way fine , go ahead, don't try
and justify it or blame Don Black for a point of view that's contrary
to your own for getting REAL SLEAZY !!!!!

Do not take this article to be a pro or con view of any of Don Blacks
articles ! If anyone (large corporations included) wants to know my 
opinion please send $ 19.95 to P.O. Box 395 etc etc
