Net.motss??

Well, things being what they are I haven't had much time of late to
devote to this activity. I have been slowly editing all the
incoming mail into the list, trying to create as complete as
possible a sense of the history of the net from your comments. It's
extremely time consuming but quite enjoyable.

In the mean time I thought I would toss back one of Gene Spafford's
questions which got missed.

Gene asks:
"Is net.motss in this list somewhere as a milestone?"

Gene also notes the net.motss was inplace before 1984, which means
that it predates my initial involvement with the net. What was it
about motss that prompted Chuq to ask:

"You know, in the current environment of alt.sex.graphics.very.explicit,
doesn't our paranoia over the name of net.motss seem just a bit silly and
anachronistic? (just as an aside)."

What was the paranoia about motss? I can imagine quite a bit of
discussion, given the historical period. I'd like to see some of
it.

Comments?
