Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1999 13:26:24 -0600 From: tomdill-AT-wc.stephens.edu (TOM DILLINGHAM) Subject: Re: Human Rights Petition I have lost count now of how many lists have received this Taliban petition. It is -- how to describe it? -- NOT to be forwarded. It is not a hoax, exactly (though it may have been posted with motives other than those most on the surface), but it has not any possible use or purpose. It has been circulating the web like a flying dutchman literally for years, and people who have supported/forwarded it out of appropriate concern for the fate of women in Afghanistan have merely perpetuated a pointlessly and worthlessly circulating phantom. For some reason it has re-surfaced in the past month or so and has popped up on lists too numerous to mention. The appeal from the earlier senders--please STOP sending this! Tom Dillingham
