	Is this the John Palmer that runs a BBS people pay for ? Maybe I'm
confused, the guy I'm thinking of'd never stoop so low, either.

	What's UUNET running on these days ? It was a couple of Sequents
last I heard. Where do you think they come from, John ? Do they grow on
trees where you live ?

	Frankly, the good people at UUNET deserve a round of applause for
making such a wonderfully complete selection of source available for FTP
and not charging for it - I'd sure hate to pay for all the disks they must
have. We should all stoop as low as UUNET.
