Aha. Now I see. Microsoft wants to change the name of these usenet newsgroups, and they know that Jesus will oppose them, so to ensure their success they buy 20% of UUNET, knowing that in this way they will somehow be able to coopt BSDI into supporting the newsgroup name changes. Jesus, your genius has broken new ground today. Thank you! -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA <paul@vix.com> decwrl!vixie!paul
