Dear colleagues,
 
The following mail exchange shows that the QUAKER-L and QUAKER-P
lists were told of an e-mail address purported to belong to a staff member
of Bill Clinton.  This address as given is NOT CORRECT.  Please do not
redistribute the incorrect address unless it would serve to eliminate 1 of
many(?) -- the poor guy has suffered enough.  I enclose the full name and
id for your use to be sure I/you have my/your facts straight.
 
I should be clear that I presume a human misunderstanding or human typo
somewhere, and include the original posting not to incriminate the
author but to provide full documentation.
 
Incidentally, I'd be interested to know if there is actually a correct
address, or, better yet, what it is. :-)
 
Thanks,
Steve, co-owner of Quaker-L and Quaker-P.

Guess what guys!  You can already reach the President-Elect's Office
by E-Mail.

What is more interesting is that they answer quickly.  Not precisely
a complete or satisfying reply.  But still.....
 
Just think what we can do for FCNL.  Another great way to add to the
endless demands on our time and energy!!
 
Enjoy!

Dear Jock (Jack?) Gill,
 
I am a co-owner of a LISTSERV list on which someone publicized your Compuserve
address as a means to reach President-elect Clinton.  Before your account
becomes inundated with mail, I want to a) confirm that you are associated
with Bill Clinton; and b) confirm that your address is meant to be used
to pass messages to him (or his staff, of courses).
 
Thank you for your time,
Steve, Quaker-L and Quaker-P co-owner

Inundated is right.
 
This particular CompuServe ID is definitely NOT appropriate for Bill
Clinton info.  There was a misprint somewhere, and I have been receiving
correspondence for quite awhile.
 
Thanks for asking, and please see that this ID is removed from your list.
