Perhaps it is 'interesting' because this issue has made it into the mainstream popular press? - paul At 11:24 PM 3/13/96 +0000, Larry J. Plato wrote:

Steve,

I am not really trying to flame you but why is this article interesting? It is really a poorly written rehash of the filtering policy Sprint has discussed for the last 18 months. I don't agree w/ Sprint's position but I don't see this article as being particularly interesting. It's not even very well written. If anything I find it annoying and irresponsible that the author did not seem, IMHO, to research his topic very well. As far as I can tell he neither asked the opinion of Sprint, or any other major NSP, as to why someone would do this. Yet he had the call to title his article "Sprint says ..."

I think this is sloppy, yellow, journalism.
