Acbosgd.115 net.news utzoo!decvax!duke!mhtsa!harpo!cbosg!cbosgd!mark Fri Oct 9 10:00:31 1981 ethical query We are likely to add code to the new netnews which will, when receiving a certain article, send mail back to the sender with the contents of the .sys file and the output of the "uuname" command. This code is necessary to help make network maps, since new sites frequently do not bother to announce themselves, or claim connections they really don't have because they confuse usenet with uucp net. If anyone feels this is unethical or is otherwise opposed to it, you should speak up quickly. Also, if you feel protective of your uuname output and/or your .sys file, please let me know.
