  Well, the last time I talked with a friend at Stanford was in May, and at 
that time leland *was* disabled from remote fingers.  Actually, one of the
reasons why the sysadmin at Stanford disabled it, was because the undergrads
were wasting too much time on talk!  And then the sysadmin totally eliminated
the possibility for leland people to talk to anyone outside of their system.
Maybe the SECF should think about doing the same for minerva!

  Ha, ha, ha!  Only kidding folks, I'm not *that* anti-social.  And, seeing
that most minerva users disagree with me over this issue, I'm forced to 
follow the motto - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.  So.....you won't be
hearing from me any more on this issue.  I thought it was neat to have more
privacy, but I guess this way more people will be able to enjoy the artistic
mastery of my .plan file.

  It's back to the soc.culture.* flame war scene with Mutlu & co. for me.  
  Later.....
