Yeah, yeah, I liked T.S. Eliot better, though I remembered it from the pedestrian Neville Shute. This thread seems close enough to a wasteland to me.

Noecon, I thought you would find this interesting... Ex-Intel Worker Loses E-Mail Fight April 29, 1999 SACRAMENTO - The Associated Press : A judge ordered a disgruntled former employee who bombarded Intel Corp. workers with company-bashing electronic mail from sending any more of the messages. The ruling came Tuesday in the case of Ken Hamidi, 51, of Citrus Heights, an Intel Corp. engineer fired in 1995 over unresolved claims of job-related injuries. Hamidi started a group called Former and Current Employees-Intel, known as Face-Intel, devoted to proving that Intel mistreats its workers. Intel, a Santa Clara-based producer of microprocessors, says the stories posted on Face-Intel's Web site _ such as blaming Intel for one worker's suicide and accusing the company of running a sweatshop in Malaysia _ are untrue. Hamidi also has waged a direct e-mail campaign, sending Intel employees messages seven times. Sacramento Superior Court Judge John R. Lewis granted Intel's request that Hamidi be barred from sending electronic missives to its workers. The company argued that Hamidi's e-mails, sent on separate occasions to as many as 30,000 Intel employees, were the equivalent of trespassing on the company's private computer system. Lewis agreed. ''The mere connection of Intel's e-mail system with the Internet does not convert it into a public forum,'' the judge wrote. ''The court finds that Hamidi's e-mails are not protected speech.'' The Intel vs. Ken Hamidi case gained national attention among First Amendment advocates. Some fear the ruling could significantly restrict the freedom to send e-mail to specific groups of people.

No knee jerk Buchananist I but he can turn a phrase: Buchanan's zinger GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan yesterday issued a scathing denunciation of President Clinton's recent remarks concerning the school massacre in Colorado. "It is profoundly regrettable that the president has chosen to exploit the horrific premeditated massacre at Littleton to, once again, scapegoat sportsmen, hunters and [other] law-abiding Americans who use guns for pleasure or personal and family safety," Mr. Buchanan said. "It calls to mind again Mr. Clinton's effort to divert blame for the massacre in Oklahoma City to conservatives and Republicans who were critical of big government. Those brutal and nihilistic killers in Colorado violated 19 federal and state gun and explosives laws. To suggest that the passage by Congress of a 20th, 21st, or 22nd might have prevented this atrocity is delusional and demagogic." Mr. Buchanan added: "At a time when America desperately needs to hear an authentic voice of moral authority from the White House, the office is regrettably occupied by a draft dodger in the cultural war for the soul of America." washtimes.com
