CuD TAKING A FEW WEEKS OFF 2. RE-SENDING ATI #51 3. MULTIPLE MAILINGS OF CuD 4. FOREIGN BBSs +++++++++++++++ An Hiatus of CuD +++++++++++++++ CuD will be taking a bit of time off. Gordon is off to Texas for a few weeks to his company's training grounds. Jim will be at the national criminology conference for a week, and then spending a week catching up on matters past deadline. The next issue should be about November 17. If you have articles, keep them coming, and be sure to send along papers you come across at conferences or elsewhere for the archives. ++++++++++++++ ATI #51 will be Resent ++++++++++++++ Those who received ATI #51 from the nets noticed that it was about a third as long as it should be. The reason was a formatting problem (periods in the first column between files truncated the remaining files). We have corrected this in the archives, but if you want to receive the corrected version, contact the ATI folks. +++++++++++ Receiving Multiple Copies of CuD +++++++++++ Some readers have received as many as ten identical copies of a single CuD issue. No, we do not send out 10 copies. The problem is that some mailers receive a copy for an address, but then kick it back to each of the other addresses listed in the blind carbon copy line. Sometimes we receive a returned issue as "non deliverable mail," even though the posting actually made it through. We have no way of knowing which bounces are accidents and which are real, so we re-send, and this sometimes leads to duplicate copies. Sorry 'bout that. +++++++++++++++++ Foreign BBSs +++++++++++++++++ We've received a few letters in the past week from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and England (yeh, ok, it's part of Europe) indicating that the BBS/net world there should be addressed. We agree. SEND ALONG ARTICLES ON THE non-U.S. scene describing the net culture, what the BBSs are like, or any other news. ******************************************************************** >> END OF THIS FILE << *************************************************************************** Downloaded From P-80 International Information Systems 304-744-2253 12yrs+
