Subject: JW Friends censorship attack

Hi all,

We now have the proofs that it was the listowner of the JW-list "Friends"
in the USA that together with Kenneth H=F8stland in Norway started the
attacks on critics on the net.

The last is that they do all in theire power to stop people like me
spreading news about them, and they did a good attempt to scare off my
postmasters on nano.no and telepost.no.

Well, they did not succede, and the result is lots of news on the web site,
with all the neccesary names. The Norwegian Internetprovider Vestnett
threatened to lock out all mails from telepost.no and nano.no, without
results. Theire names and email adresses is also on our web-site, with
documentation of what they tried to pull off.

I do not want any "mail-bombing", but firm questions on what's up would be
appretiated. We just can't sit still and watch religious censorship on the
net.

The Jehovah's Witnesses list Friends has a key role in this matter.
Here's an incomplete list of the members of the Friends Host Committee

  Alan Gauld        agauld@gssec.bt.co.uk
  Peter Liu         ptl2@cs1.cc.lehigh.edu              <-- List owner!
  Lynn Newton       lynn@ives.phx.mcd.mot.com
  Mark Sornson      sornson@illusn.enet.dec.com
  Jaime Villareal   jaime.villarreal@ebay.sun.com
  John Wadsworth    jww@inmos.co.uk

The person on Vestnett, threatening to lock out all mails from nano.no and
telepost.no accounts is:

Ove Ruben Olsen rubenro@troll.vestnett.no
