2600 Writer Indicted
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2600 News Service

It's been reported here and there that the editor of an underground magazine
called 2600 has been charged with wire fraud in connection with the GTE
Telemail investigation (see previous issues for details on this case).

One of our coordinating writers is, in fact, involved with this case - however
he is not the "editor" of our magazine.  2600 is not handled by a single
person, but by different people all over the country who contribute whatever
they can, according to their abilities.

We are not an "underground" magazine; we don't break laws or publish items that
are illegal to publish.  We simply discuss interesting things that can be done
with today's technology.  There is certainly no reason for us to go
underground.

As for the investigation, we are confident that our writer will be vindicated
and left alone.  He is planning to write a story concerning this "adventure"
when it's all over, regardless of how it ends.  He as our full support and we
hope he has yours as well.
