Sean/list,

 I was watching the news this morning re: This issue. A Pacbell spokesman 
was talking to a reporter and here is what he had to say ( My memory is a 
bit foggy)

" Pac bell is also the victim here. We did not cause this. It was a 
private contractor that caused this ACCIDENT" At the point he said 
accident it sounded like he was getting ready to start yelling at the 
reporter.

 I just thought you all might find this funny.. Please no flames!


PS: I am going to Vancouver BC on Thursday for a week. Anyone know 
anything fun to do in the area?
