MESSAGE FROM THE LINGUISTS' NAMESERVER

As many of you will know, for the last two years or so a Nameserver for
Linguists, Psycholinguists, Phoneticians, Computer Linguists and other
workers in the Language and Speech Sciences has been available at
LINGUISTS@ALF.LET.UVA.NL.
        There are now about 6500 addresses in the database, representing
the e-mail addresses of about 4000 persons and institutions. In addition
we have recently started recording the FAX addresses of institutions.
        Obviously a list such as this is subject to rapid degradation in
quality, as people shift from one institution to another, computer systems
are altered and so on. To ensure that the list remains up to date, and
reasonably complete, we rely on the cooperation of the people on the list itself
to inform us of changes to their own e-mail addresses and those of others.
        There are some kind souls who keep us up to date on all the relevant
people at their own institutions, or the people they are regularly in contact
with, but in general we rely on individuals to tell us about their own
addresses.
        This is a reminder to people who have changed e-mail addresses in the
last year to tell us about this, and to others who did not know of our
existence to provide us with their addresses. If your address is in the list
incorrectly, it may well cause delay to people who want to contact you.
        This message is being sent to all the language-related discussion
groups we know of, plus the local distribution relay addresses of the
LINGUIST discussion list. This may mean that you get this message two or more
times. Try not to get irritated with us.
        To check whether your name is on our list, send the message (subject
line irrelevant):

list SURNAME
(replace SURNAME with your own surname)

to:
linguists@alf.let.uva.nl

You should then get back the entry if any which the Nameserver has for you.
        If the entry is wrong you have to REMOVE the wrong entry, and ADD the
correct one. Let us say the wrong entry is:

        william carmichael: carm@sun202.ptmoresby.pg

and you want to replace it with:

        william j carmichael: wjc@marriage-buro.reno.nv.us

Then you require to send the following instructions:

remove carmichael, william: carm@sun202.ptmoresby.pg
add carmichael, william j: wjc@marriage-buro.reno.nv.us

Your entry will now be correct.

NB. There is a help message. To get it send:

help

NB. To get the whole list, send:

Seems bizarre to me.  A couple of vague possibilities come to mind:

In Canada we have Social Insurance Numbers (appropriately SINs).  They
are nine digits like the US SSNs, though split three, three, and three
rather than the unequal US split.  It's possible that the order clerk
flipped into "speaking US" to you (e.g. he probably asked for your ZIP
code rather than your postal code).  So he may have really wanted a
SIN, but happily took your SSN and keyed it into the nine digit field
where it just happened to fit.  The customs explanation may be just
folk theory developed by the clerks.

This explanation fails pretty miserably however, because I can't think
of any reason why a company here would want a SIN from a customer.  I
have never been asked for mine (and wouldn't dream of giving it) when
buying from a retailer.  The SIN is required only for income tax, Canada
Pension, and Unemployment Insurance matters.  There is legislation that
prohibits private organizations from requiring it or using it without
your permission as a database key etc.

Now the customs thing may not be too far off.  Since the FTA came into
existence, Canada Customs has struck agreements with various large US
retailers such that the retailers collect some Canadian tax and duty
on purchases being shipped here in exchange for customs clearing
packages very quickly (there is some sort of sticker that goes on
claiming preclearance).

So it doesn't seem unreasonable that US Customs may have struck
a similar agreement with Canadian companies who ship a lot to the
US (and Corel would fit that description).  Maybe US Customs really
does want your SSN to make sure you've paid any duty or tax owing.

The simple solution in most cases is to just invent a number and give it
to them.  Obvious caveats if you are dealing with a government
organization, but I can't imagine US Customs could bust you for
giving false information to a company in Ottawa.

I'd be very curious to hear if the number you gave them appears
anywhere on the package or shipping documentation.

That's one very primitive thing which electronic texts allow you to do.
Only recently I stopped just deleting and actually reading those letters
too. It's not all that much more difficult to decide which post doesn't
interest you and a rule like "more than a page of quoted material" is a

*Wow*  Now THAT'S something interesting!  That should wake Anne up

And not all of the Republicans are children, either.  Some of my best

Republican.

We'll get taxes and lies no matter where we look, Alec..the question
is, can we control via the electoral process the degree to which we

Ref SSN bit.  For years we (Univ of South Florida) did not use SSN's as

consisting of SSN and 1 blank space - we no longer play that ridiculous
game - we just use SSN.  For foreign (non US) students we assign a "SSN".
I expect some day that people born in the US will be assined a "person
number" at time of birth, maybe even before name, and that number will
forever be associated with that person for every use you can think of -
soc sec., driver's license, personal ID, bank accounts, etc., etc.  We
aren't that far from such already.

Carol,
 Your description of reviewers can very well be applied to us secondary (and
other levels, too, probably) English teachers at times.  Once upon a time, in
a land far far away, I, too, used to "bleed" red ink on my student's papers,
then wondered why they were unenthusiastic about writing.  Now I use
pencil - it seems *gentler* somehow, and conference as much as I can.
This is not to say that comments are not still written on student papers, for
they are, just not as *violently.*  And, yes, I realize that editing
computer manuals is a different ball-game, but I was reminded of my old
ways in reading about Reviewer A in your description. :-)
