Did you read what I said? Try reading it again please. Thank you.
FYI, the only time I would threaten to take action is if someone
issued a press release in the name of this list without agreement --
PERIOD. That's what I said, that's what I meant, I stand by it.

For your information, I helped build this list long before you ever
heard of it. Even those who oppose me will tell you that.
You OTOH are a newbie, and maybe should read and learn before you run
your mouth.

Excuse me, I'll say whatever I damn well please.

Well, then he would probably have to put the damper on you, now
wouldn't he?

I don't know what proposal you're referring to. There is nothing
about your Net telephone propoosal that scares me. In fact, there is
nothing about the email pricing proposal that scares me, and that was
the one that Marilyn and I thought you were working on.
My point was democratic *process*, pure and simple.
FYI, I have published two articles on the Net telephone issue, one
which will appear in WIRED in June. The other appeared in The
American Reporter, and I will forward you a copy.
With my urging, our group led CPSR's entry into the ACLU v. Reno
case, Andy drafted with help from me and a couple others a position
paper on telecom adopted by the CPSR national board, I am currently
coordinating the effort here in Washington to file a comment with
the FCC on the ACTA petition, and possibly the "universal service"
proceeding. I am also on the planning committee that is organizing
the CPSR national conference here in Washington this fall.
Just thought you might want to know.
