Letter in Phoenix New Times, August 1, 1996, p. 2
Nothing But Net
Jose Saavedra's statement that he is looking for an Internet service
provider that can protect his personal information is a bit
disingenuous, considering that Primenet never had his personal
information on file--the [email protected] account was signed up for
with false information. Saavedra was arrested because, after the
account was suspended, he called in on Primenet's 800 number--which
records the caller's telephone number--in order to complain.
If Saavedra is innocent, he should offer some explanation for why he
was calling about an account that didn't have any valid user
information associated with it. He may have been sharing the account
with someone else who actually posted the messages, but his telephone
call indicates that he did have something to do with it.
Jim Lippard, Primenet
