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gophermail servers, agora servers, getweb servers, or any of the E-mail only services you will see information that is out of date from 1 to 3 years on .edu sites.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 And you can forget Roadmap because it's 2 years out-of-date. -- Gerry Boyd -- gboyd@netcom.com
