X-Message-Number: 17039 From: "john grigg" <> 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... www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/emailtax.html sorry, John _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17039
