Vulis has sent me private mail, which I won't quote here because of the usual netiquette standards that private mail not be quoted (though it's legal to do so). He asserts that a few weeks ago he sent criticisms of Stronghold out to the Cypherpunks list, and the criticisms did not appear on any of the distributed lists. He claims he then received communications from C2Net of a legal nature, threatening him with legal action. I'll let Vulis elaborate if he wishes, as I don't know the situation. And I encourage him to do so, for more than one reason. As I just replied to "Against Moderation" on, I would like to see these articles which were suppressed. Please repost them to the list, and copy me to ensure that I get them. If this claim is true, that Sandy blocked criticism of Stronghold from reaching either the Main list (bad enough), or from even going out at all on the Flames list (reprehensible), then this is an extremely serious charge. If the claim is true that Sandy used articles sent to the Cypherpunks list, but never distributed to the list, as the basis by the company which employs him of legal threats of any kind, then this is even more than just "extremely serious." I would like to hear more from Vulis, and copies of any such articles, and of course would like to hear Sandy's version of things. This is too serious a charge not to resolve. --Tim May Just say "No" to "Big Brother Inside" We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
