Can you send me a copy of your draft paper on computer message
services?  You may be interested in a paper on home terminals
called hoter[w76,jmc] on Home Computer Terminals that I gave at
the AAAS meeting.  Message services fit into a larger picture, and
some proposals for regulating message services will preclude other
information applications.  I regard the New York Times editorial to
turn these services over to Postal Service monopoly in order to
subsidize ordinary mail as particularly poisonous.
