This is the most ridiculous statement I have seen. My site is contains
more up to date information on How to do Just about Everything by E-mail
than any .edu. .com,. or even .gov site.

If you go searching for gophermail servers, agora servers, getweb
servers, or any of the E-mail only services you will see information
that is out of date from 1 to 3 years on .edu sites.

In fact, I just notified http://www.loc.gov/ that there WAIS services
were defunct and their links were bad. Tell me the name of the only
functioning WAISmail server in the world?

I guarantee that if you type in "gophermail server" in a search engine
you will hit my web page within the first 20 hits and that I'm
up-to-date and that most of the other information you find on the 'net
will be wrong and contain addresses of defunct servers and services. And
you can forget Roadmap because it's 2 years out-of-date.
