Not to belabour the obvious, but what about us poor slobs who are not
connected to the internet? Second class citicens again?

Uh? What other archives? Could you provide us with a list of those
Heavenly Souls? Specifically those who are ready to provide either
mail service, or anonymous UUCP connections. Or, alternatively, could
YOU provide an anonymous UUCP login on your wondrous machine?

Don't take me wrong. I think you're doing a great thing here. It's just
that it's a great thing only for some people, and nothing at all for
the others.

Thanks you
