At 08:05 PM 1/14/99 -0500, Robert Hettinga, for reasons perhaps
known only to himself, went off on a long tangent on many lists
about how the whois entries for Simple Access and Signet Assurance
have a variety of other companies listed. This sort of thing
happens when you've been in the network service provider business,
and when you change the direction of your company as you go along,
which many startup businesses do. The entries I looked at had
DNS service from SAC.NET, aka Simple Access, and Country&Western,
er, Cable&Wireless, which might either be original C&W or else
the original MCI services that got sold to C&W at the time of the
MCI/Worldcom merger.
Thanks!
Bill
