Recently, Miami Computing & Information Services (MCIS) has received
another round of complaints from other institutions 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):
