Scientology wants to subpoena records from the University of Maryland ? Good luck! The third time that the NOTs were posted, they were posted to the Original Zippo News Service (www.zippo.com) with an NNTP-Posting-Host of "info.umd.edu". Try telneting to that host. You will find that it is a public Lynx service -- a text-mode World Wide Web browser. It has the "g" (Go to URL) command disabled, but it's still pretty easy to get off campus, via the following route: [2]Baltimore-Washington corridor [7]The Yahoo Connection - Baltimore At the "Search all of Yahoo" field, type "zippo" [13]Direct Read News by Zippo [6]Alternative Scroll down a few pages to "alt.religion.*" [23]alt.religion.scientology Once there, it's very easy to repost a new copy of a previously posted message, by using the "Post News" button. The message text contains the entire text of what you are replying to, with the traditional quoting symbol ">" at the beginning of each line. That's exactly what the NOTs posted through Zippo looked like. There are no records. Not at Zippo. Not at U of Maryland. The CoS is chasing a chimera. -- Ron Newman rnewman@cybercom.net Web: http://www.cybercom.net/~rnewman/home.html
