It's one thing that the government runs remailers and they're just really not nice for doing that and all, but what about other people/organizations? I applied for a job at Earthlink in Los Angeles last year, around may or june. they had been small ISP, but growing fast. they were established by a 24(?) yr old wizz kid named Sky about july or so of 1994 and were hiring. they had given me great service aand i was excited about getting into 'the business'. I went for an interview and talked with the 3 VPs at the time. I did not talk to sky, the owner. first guy tells me they are running the biz based on the principles of the church of scientology. humm.. hands me a huge book published by them. i read the inscription in the front. "To Sky, happy birthday, love dad". this guy says he's in the Co$. I talk to the next 2 guys. they have been hired from all over the country, moved out here and they both tell me they are in the Co$ too. all 3 VP and the "owner" are tied into the Co$. i turned down their offer and got another ISP. I thot back. the thing with anon.penet in finland and the Co$ had been a couple months before Earthlink started into business. I have watched them grow incccedibly fast with a huge advertising budget. Read a Wired magazine or any other computer mag. they're advertising in it. they've gone national. they're everywhere. Does Earthlink exist as a reaction to the net controversy and the Co$? I donno. Are they really owned by the Co$? I donno. Does the Co$ have access to all the mail that comes across their servers? i donno. Am I gonna get sued because of this note? I donno. are you listening?
