- Just to clarify, at the risk of belaboring the point: my "assinine"
- comment, while on reflection a bit too strong, refered to the earlier
- poster's contention that a computer manufacturer was somehow at
- legal risk for maintainimg a publicly accessible ftp server. I think
- that is patently ridiculous.
-
- I also think it's wonderful that New Mexico State maintains ftp-os2-nmsu.edu
- and hope they do so into the indefinite future.
