I heard about CJ when it was featured as TipWorld's Mailing List of the Day for 10/23/97. They described the list as follows: CYBERJOURNAL CJ for short, this is one of many lists sponsored by the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. A moderated forum to talk about anything you want, recent posts include juicy conspiracy theories about Princess Diana's death, the increasing emergence of global monopolies, and international corruption. Perspectives from around the world, specially written articles, quotes, and cross-postings of other newsletters are common. As a computer professional, I thought it sounded interesting so I decided to subscribe and check it out. I'm not someone that is likely to post much to a list, but I do enjoy reading the articles. I have found them to be well written, entertaining and often thought provoking.

However, if the mysterious automobile(s) that were seen to emerge from the tunnel moments after the crash were to be idendified and if under questionning some damnable, but solid, piece of evidence were to emerge, the princess story would become a very exciting story indeed. As for TWA Flight 800 there is plenty of evidence that U.S. Navy missile practice went awry with some kind of missile hitting flight 800. Anyone who denies this simply hasn't been reading all the evidence. So I for one appreciat Richard Moore's willingness to explore these fringe theories. In fact I would dearly love to hear more. For instance, there was for awhile an advertisement on Usenet re: a video that had been produced which supposedly contained some incriminating evidence regarding Di's death. I'd love to hear more about the evidence that was on that video. If higher powers could get away with the murders of JFK, RFK, Malcom X, and MLK, they could certainly get away with the murder of a princess (so as to regain complete control over the upbringing of the future king of England) and so as to prevent Di from stealing their thunder, so to speak, and doing things like making a video on the horrendous damage to millions of children's lives that resulted from the British participation in the Gulf War.

I am expecting 'stuff' about computer technology policies and their effects on everyday life for most of us --- e.g. are Netdays, or federal $ for computers-in-the-classroom, investments in education, or public subsidies for Silicon Valley?

I merely hope is that the thoughts, opinions, reports, conjecture, hypotheses, etc., I receive will be stimulating, informative, thought-provoking, horizon-broadening, etc. I will not even mind "maddening" so long as one or more of the other criteria is consistently met. Thanks for your invitation to comment. Had not yet received enough messages to make me want to "jump in" on anything in particular. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ~-==============================-~ To leave cyberjournal, simply send (from the account at which you're subscribed): To: •••@••.••• Subject: (ignored) --- unsub cyberjournal ~-==============================================-~
