Hi everybody (Steve Grimm in particular),

    I've finally got my formats correct for accessing the ssyx archive, and
have managed to get some stuff from there. However, reading the "Fairness"
message, where it said that it would be better to have all requests in one
message than have a load of different messages, I did this and sent it off
(about 3 weeks ago) and obviously, haven't had any back yet.
    I wonder if it is possible for anybody to kill my requests on the ssyx
queue and notify me so that I can request one at a time, wait for it to arrive
etc. before requesting another.
    Just a thought concerning the (seemingly) heavy usage of the archive, would
it be easier if anybody who wanted anything ask all on the net if they have it
and if so to send it? I realise that it could end up with the requester (??)
getting a load of the same stuff or alternatively, if when somebody gets a big
piec of software from an archive, informing the net for info. I kniw that I
wouldn't mind doing this, any thoughts from anybody else??

    Read from you soon,
                        Mike Higgs
