Subject: the real story about the net tax...
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 23:48:39 

It turns out the whole e-mail tax story is a hoax!

I did learn that in Feb. of 1999 the F.C.C.(and not congress or the postal 
service) considered a net tax, but the idea was rejected.

The gov't continues to get swamped with heated letters and e-mails asking 
them to not tax the net!  Maybe, this is one urban folk myth which is 
serving a purpose...

sorry,
