What's happening is that UCB has wimped out of the battle because there's nothing in it for them either way. There's a letter being passed round at the moment asking 'famous or responsible people' to write to a certain person at Berkeley to convince the Regents that there is an important issue at stake here. The impression is that they simply don't care enough to get involved. Unfortunately when I received the letter it came with a specific 'replies received from usenet postings will not be accepted' so I can't reproduce it here. Don't ask me what the fuck is going on. Somebody somewhere has cocked things up in style. G PS Those aren't actual verbatim quotes from the letter you understand... --
