Given the avail of the wonderful archie snarfing database,
is it appropriate that people no longer ask for locations of known 
named programs, and given avail of bitftp, stop asking
for such to be mailed to them? Of course, appropriately vague
requests would still be welcome. As a first step, I have been mailing 
offensively long archie output to thise making simple queries to c.s.w.
