Boy, talk about net.snobbery!  Just because they don't have a uucp path,
you think you can't communicate with your legislators!  Remember USnail?
Last resort, I know, but worthwhile -- avalanches of mail can be very
effective -- witness Star Trek and (we hope) Overnight.  You could probably
send a letter to "<congressman's name>/U.S. Congress/Washington" and it
would get there.  For 20 cents, it's a bargain! (Do you know that many net
postings cost more than that? Especially mail, when your system will call
the next system (long-distance) as soon as it gets something bound for there.
Some of us aren't rich/ambitious enough to have WATS lines or anything..)
