Well now, that I understood anyway. My point was: since there has been
nothing appearing on c.s.u in a couple of months, despite the many
announcements by folks who have sent Mr. Salz submissions, we all seem
to lose out anyway as long as that is the state of affairs of c.s.u.
'Coz I can't imagine that all those submitters used non-domain
addresses or black!hole!paths, yet nothing gets posted anyway.

I know of at least one individual (doug@letni.lonestar.org) who
offered to relieve Mr. Salz if the latter was too busy to continue. I
understand that this offer was not even dignified by a response from
Mr. Salz, yet things have not improved.

So we all lose out, regardless of address style :-).
