Subject: Re: IW Mailing List iw/951222 I would like to take this opportunity to formally deny this reckless allegation by Strano Network that I "took part" in their strike against French network servers. I did join the Strano Network NetStrike mailing list, because I believe their activities bear watching. I have spread their information widely, because I believe people should know what Strano Network are doing. However, I did not, and will not, take part in an effort to deny service to Internet users, in France or elsewhere. At no time did Strano Network seek my permission to use my name in support of their activities. Mark Meaders My opinion is MY opinion.
