   I have been watching gnu.emacs.source for some time now and haven't
   seen a posting of emacs.  I thought that it would show up every
   month or so.

g.e.s is for sources related to Emacs - most frequently, nifty new
elisp hacks.  The tar(1)ed, compress(1)ed GNU Emacs 18.55 distribution
weighs in at 4,329,534 bytes.  Broadcasting that on the GNUsenet would
be almost unimaginably inefficient, and would clog the news arteries
worse than a hot-n-greasy Wendy's hamburger.  Better to have the
people who want it pay to get it for themselves, then share it with
others nearby.  Form a local GNU-getting cooperative!

   Since I don't have FTP access, it would be nice to get it here.

If you don't have a friend in town who can put it on tape for you, and
you don't want to pay FSF's tape copying fee, then you can get it via
UUCP from uunet or osu-cis.  Write to info@uunet.uu.net about their
subscription rates or their anonymous 900-number service, or write to
uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu for their anonymous UUCP GNU-getting
instructions.  Other UUCP sites (perhaps some on the left coast) with
at least some GNU stuff include the following list from etc/FTP:
