Whew!  You're not kidding.  And I should have remembered from my signing onto
the Toolchest last year that when one orders something the order is shipped
via uucp to a site of one's choosing.

If someone has Karl Kleinpaste's email address handy, he should be advised of
this to PREVENT any problems in the future; seems like "maybe" a simple umask
change is all that's required to prevent us all from getting more gray hairs
over the thought of losing a resource like osu-cis.
