Re: Important information regarding your usenet service

How does this affect AT&T WorldNet Customers?

Having been a manager for AT&T for over 7 years, I would be curious as to know.

This message is so obscure it is unclear whom it affects and what actions need be taken.

Your prompt and accurate reply to this newsgroup in which you presented this message would be greatly appreciated by those few AT&T customers left.

Warmest Regards,
RSH.
