During the past 24 hours, Miami Computing & Information Services (MCIS)
has received multiple complaints from other institutions (including
Indiana University and the World Bank) regarding electronic chain
letters that have been forwarded to their computing users from users of
Miami University computing resources.
 
The following posting to mu.mcis.news / MCISNews from Spring Semester
1994 is repeated as a general reminder to all users of Miami University
computing resources that starting or continuing the propagation of a
chain letter over e-mail is an inappropriate use of Miami's computing
resources, and can lead to Disciplinary Procedures as noted in Appendix BB
of the Student Handbook (page 58 in the 1994-95 edition):

Miami Computing & Information Services (MCIS) wishes to remind all users of
computing resources at Miami University that dissemination of chain letters
in electronic mail is a strictly inappropriate use of computing resources
which violates not only the spirit of Internet etiquette but also the letter
of various network policies, including those of OARnet, Miami's direct link
to the Internet.
 
Any instances of chain letter receipt should be promptly reported to
[log in to unmask]  Under no circumstances should such chain letters
be forwarded to other e-mail addresses at Miami or elsewhere.
 
Thank you for your cooperation.
