I'm not convinced that 'descriptions and mail to requesters' would actually
cut the net traffic.  At present (bar accidents) net stuff crosses the Atlantic
once (to Holland, innit?), crosses the Channel once, and so on.  A separate
trans-Atlantic posting to each requestor would pretty obviously crank the
transmitted bitcount right up.

Similar arguments, of course, apply to non-international posting.  Also,
I think that this net has a higher connectivity than 'pure user mail',
so that solution would leave lots of people out, I spect.

Better, the idea (is it reelly going to happen) of a separate meeting for
the software, so that them as don't want it can more easily miss it out.
