504.0. "Changes to mrnews.mro.dec.com" by VLNVAX::STAPLETON () Mon Mar 10 1997 16:35

The news articles on mrnews.mro.dec.com come from depot.mro.dec.com,
which I also run.

    1.	My management has been issuing specific orders (they are
	specific at my insistence) to stop certain newsgroups from
	being distributed by depot.mro.dec.com.  The filtering
	began on March 3, 1997.

    2.	The current list of newsgroups is:

	alt.sex
	alt.sex.*
	alt.binaries.pictures.erotica
	alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.*

I have just finished a phone call with my CC manager and his boss and
probably someone else in the room regarding newsgroups and filtering.
They were using a speakerphone, but only introduced themselves.

I am postive that they will be issuing more orders to filter other
newsgroups.  As an employee, I am obligated to follow their orders.

My chain of command is:

1	Edward Kane		team leader
2	John Donahue		CC manager		(in phone call)
3	Ronald Calabria		next boss in chain	(in phone call)
4	Timothy Gallagher	next boss in chain
5	Thomas Simmons		next boss in chain
6	Richard Fishburn	next boss in chain
7	Robert Palmer		next boss in chain

The orders have been coming from 2 & 3 at the insistence of 4.

Oh, why did I include my chain of command.  I don't want to hear any
complaints.  That is why I told you my chain of command and who is
doing the pushing and ordering.
