I hope that you are not implying that I am spreading Iraqi propoganda.
I only related a personal memory, and that at the time I did see the
prospect of war.  But of course, none of these provocations could EVER
justify the Iraqi invasion.  I hope the difference is clear.

This is indeed true. The 427 prefix has been switched to 227. However,
this is the only such change in the recent months that I am aware of.
These changes are parts of the project that started some 15 years ago
to convert Tehran's phone system, and at the same time convert all the
phone numbners into 7 digits. It slowed down considerably during
Iran-Iraq war. There are speculation that within the next year or two
ti should be completed.  Here are some of the problems that currently
exist:

International calls to and from the 7 digit numbers go through with
little or no problem. International calls to 6 digit numbers go
through with little or no problem, where international calls from 6
digit numbers at times face little but not much problems.

On the other hand, local calls to and from 7 digit numbers are a pain,
where local calls among 6 digit numbers face no problems.

Of course. The Shah regime too promoted violence, hatred
and anti-Arab feelings. The Khomeini regime inherited
all these ugly policies and simply expanded them.

Well, I personally found it quite educational to see that
anti-Arab feelings is very common among the supporters
of the terrorist Khomeini regime. Look at the recent
follow-ups in support of racist Taghavi by Brad, Satan,
Babak Separi (what a bunch of intellectuals!), etc. Isn't
that enough to represent the sentiment of the supporters
of the Khomeini regime (and by extention, the Shah regime)?

Who knows I may become a regular poster.

Indeed the Khomeini regime's uses of terrorism worldwide
has created a situation that a shadow of the regime is
seen and a refernce to regime's terrorism is made in
practically every political murder, kidnapping, hijacking,
and political sabotage.

In the Khomeini regime eyes, human life is worthless.
They see killing and destruction as the only means
of reinforcing their tyrant rule. They've done in it
Iran and elsewhere during last 13 dark years.

The akhounds, and in particular their mentor, have no
human feelings and thus have no respect for human life
or human feelings. Remember Khomeini's exteremely
vindictive mentality who could not control his evil
psychological excitements:

	* he called war a divine blessing
	* in his eyes, killing and torture was legitimate
	* he referred to ceasefire and a proposal to end
	  senseless killing as "peace poison"
	* to him, it was ok to send 11, 12, 13 year old
	  kids to war fronts; he in fact ordered that
	  parents had no right to stop their children
	* to him, it was ok to rape virgin girls before
	  execution;
	* according to Montazeri, the ex-faghih!, Khomeini
	  personally ordered execution of pregnant women
	* ...

Remember when Khomeini was returning to Iran after 15 years;
in reply to a reporter who asked about his feelings on his
return, Khomeini replied ``nothing.'' That is true. Nothing.
If he had any feelings, Iran would not have turned into
a graveyard with millions killed in prisons and in a senseless
bloody war.

Sallam doostan,
	we got the "fekr Nevisandeh" (fekr@gorgan.mti.sgi.com) account going about 
4-6 month after SCI started.  This was a joint project with Mojgan Thompson.  During the
last year it was mostly used by individuals who did not have posting capability, (thus not
really anonymous) and we did not advertise its availability.  Siamak actually asked me if
I wanted a few lines in the SCI FAQ file regarding the account, I decided not to mention it
since activities had died down, and those who use it know about it.   Noushin and I and a 
few good friends have worked on an another project, and thus probably the source of 
confusion.

SalAm beh hamegi,

First of all I want to thank Shahrokh for setting up this alias
so that unfortunate (not anymore of course!) people like myself
would have posting capabilities. I've been a reader for the
past 8 months (thanks to Shahrokh again) and I'm glad that now
I can contribute as well.

As my first post, I like to share a clipping from the San Jose
Mercury Newspaper from 1987. I have already shared this with
Lunch@tehran, so I appolegize if it's 'tekrAri' for some of you.

Hope you enjoy it.

THE DILEMMA

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk rejection.
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life
is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, has nothing,
is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot
learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitudes,
he is a slave. He has forfeited his freedom. Only a person
who takes risks is free.

Pardon me for jumping ito this discussion, but weren't some of us
Iranians doing the very same things some 15-20 years ago?

I don't want to compare the two, but this is a disease that is caused
by what I call "excess green" and it's common amongst all walks of
life. Of course, "excess green" is not a sufficient condition to lead
to what you have outlined above, however it is a necessary condition.
There are many other factors too that I have left out.

NNTP-Posting-Host: handel


first id like to thank all those whove thanked me for setting
up sci-poster.  i must say that it wasnt very hard and the real
credit goes to those who thot of these a looong time ago (anoosh,
naghmeh?, others)... im only following in their steps.

various people have sent me direct e-mail asking questions about 
sci-posters.  im posting them here with responses since others may
be curious as well.

1.  "what the hell is sci-poster ?"

well, its a giant 10X20 meter four-colour poster with pictures
of all sci members throwing rotten eggs at... ok, ok lets get
serious...

sci-poster is set up for people whod like to post something to sci
but dont have news access or have read-only access.  you can
e-mail your post to sci-poster@handel.sun.com and itll show up
on sci exactly as handel received it.

2. "what is this anonymous poster thing ?"

sci-anon-poster, accomplishes the same thing, except that it
removes your name/address from the headers and substitues 
'Anonymous' in its place.  it also removes 'standard usenet
signatures', which are assumed to start with a "--" in column 1.
it would be wise to test sci-anon-poster prior to posting.

3. "do *you* know who the anonymous posters are" ?

i dont read any of the sci-* postings until they show up
on sci.  there *is* however one exception.  if for one reason
or another inews bounces the posting request, itll get mailed
to me and ill have to look at the header to fix the problem.

4. "what are your political views, are you going to blow peoples
    covers" ?

well, if get layed off, i may consider black-e-mailing you guys...

seriously. the short answer is: fear not.  i have no ties with
any particular religious/political groups, and i pledge that
i shall never abuse the system or do anything unethical.

5. "my friend xxx doesnt have access to news, how can he get
    access to sci" ?

simply send me their e-mail address and theyll automatically get
sci articles thru e-mail once an hour or so.  to post on sci,
they can use the sci-* aliases...
