Vint,

As I looked through some old email, er netmail, in response to the
current discussion on internet-history, I ran across this amusing one
from you.

CRAIG,

MCI MAIL PASSES THROUGH THE X.25 FILTER BEFORE IT CAN GO
ANYWHERE.  AS A CONSEQUENCE, NO GERMS SURVIVE.  HELL, THE PACKETS
ALMOST DON'T SURVIVE GOING THROUGH X.25, LET ALONE SOME POOR
BACTERIUM...
