datamat!rumor
I've now seen a copy of the infamous utzoo!datamat!rumor article
that has caused all the fuss (I thank decvax!jm for mailing it to
me).  It most definitely DID NOT originate at or pass through
decvax!utzoo, the University of Toronto Zoology department.  The
"PDT" in its postmark strongly suggests a west-coast origin, as
does the author's affiliation, and a friend of mine who gets various
things from the Arpanet community says he has seen "utzoo" on the
cc-list of a document that may even be the same article (we haven't
yet had a chance to compare notes).  THIS IS NOT US.  We may have
a first here:  the first real live authentic name conflict on Usenet.
[Why me, Lord?]  Would anyone knowing the possible identity of the
other "utzoo" please pass this information on to me?  My friend's
comments suggest it may be in the Stanford area.
