We indicate in the header that we assume notes may be published, and as a rule, even though we assume letters may be published, we double check "just in case." When we ask for a copy of an article or note that someone has written, we generally assume, whatever wording we use, that it's understood that it is for publication. Even if a note has been posted publicly on the nets and an author sends us a copy, we still try to check. Unfortunately, signals are sometimes crossed and an article slips into publication which an author prefered to not to be. We regret when this occurs, but it is the result of legitimate misunderstandings and not the result of any attempt to bypass author prerogative. Given the amount of mail we receive and weekly schedule, in addition to net-lag that may delay a response until *after* a post has been published, miscommunication can arise. We regret such occurances and apologize to a recent valuable contributor to whom this happened. +++++++++++++ Corrected NIA Address +++++++++++++ In the last issue of CuD, the wrong nuchat address for NIA was listed by mistake. The *CORRECT* address for NIA submissions and correspondence is: ELISEM@NUCHAT.SCCSI.COM We regret any inconvenience caused to those on the mistakenly listed account. +++++++++++++ Intertek: The CyberPunk Journal +++++++++++++ The latest INTERTEK (Winter, 1991, Vol 3,1) is out, and features "Reflections on Hackers" by Katie Hafner and interviews with John Perry Barlow and Eric Bloodaxe. For those who have not seen it, Intertek is a hard-copy magazine (the current issue is 28 pages) with articles, commentary, interviews, book reviews, research summaries, and other cutting-edge hi-tek information. Single issues are $2.50, or a one year subscription is $7. The editor, Steve Steinberg, can be contacted at: 325 Ellwood Bech, #3, Goleta, CA (93117) or internet at steve@cs.ucsb.edu. +++++++++++++++++ Call for Articles +++++++++++++++++ For the next few issues, we are especially looking for articles from readers on: (1) State of the CU (p/h and pirate) BBS community; (2) Views on such issues sysop liability on BBSs, e-mail privacy on BBS and mainframe (university or employer) systems,; and (3) Surveillance of BBSs by local, state or federal LE agents. ******************************************************************** >> END OF THIS FILE << ***************************************************************************
