   The main article appeared in the Sunday, June 10th, 1990 issue
of the Houston Chronicle. I occasionally use my favorite Abernathy 
quote from that article in one of my sigs. He describes the traffic on
the "Internet" (usenet newsgroups, actually):

"Since there are virtually no rules, the catalog of information includes
   voluminous pornography, along with advice on recreational drugs,
   satanism, paganism, and sex slaves."

    ...and I've been looking for the sex slaves anonymous ftp site
ever since. :-)
