UUNET Customer Liaison: USENET "netiquette" Reminder

[David Farber <farber@central.cis.upenn.edu>]

I would assume that saying something about UUNet is bad netiquet as well as
maybe even 1 st ammendment protected speach that they disagree (or some loud
influential customer or politico] with. Sounds real not right
