I'm curious: How many USENET Contact people out there got a flyer in the
Snail mail for this? I wouldn't have noticed, except the address had the
phrase `Engineering Department System' in it, which I have put in exactly
one place... our USENET Compact Directory entry! (You know, the one
maintained by Karen Summers-Horton out of the goodness of her heart,
posted once a month, on the first of the month, in net.news.map).

Can the people at SSC confirm or deny that they have used the
USENET Compact Directory as a direct marketing mailing list?
Can the people at Teltone give us a hint about these `SSC' people?

	a little irritated to see yet more junk Snail mail,

P.S.	For the folks who are not USENET system administrators, can you
	check to see that your admin is reading net.news.sa, please?
	If they're not, please suggest that they do so, since that group
	is intended to reach them all...
