I have just been told a story, possibly apocryphal, that the when the 
Arizona bar was notified of the lawyers sending the "Green Card" solicitation
on Usenet, they replied that the Usenet authorities should be responsible for
dealing with the problem.  <Big smiley face>

Actually, I have also been informed that the lawyers involved are members of
the Tennessee bar, rather than the Arizona bar.  So what are they doing
practicing in Arizona?  I've heard that the net transcends borders, but this
is a surprise . . .
