They got copies of all my incoming and outgoing email as well as logs of all instant messages. The result was also a stanford phd thesis (joint between language and AI) and material for some number of subsequent papers and books in the area of computer mediated communication ... random posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#cmc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
