Re: UUCP Users Directory

I worry more about the phone bills at each site, when this
directory is distributed via USENET. Not to mention the line
printer paper used up when each user at a site gets his own copy?

And it should be distributed every few months to be really useful!

Or does this fine hacker and his company have the $$ to print and
mail a copy to each site regularly?

Perhaps, the directory should be set up to be queriable via Mail?
All the people at a site. All the people with name "x". Et. Al.

I think this idea needs a lot of discussion. I, for one, need to be
convinced this is worth the resources. I believe the occasional
queries in net.wanted, et. al. are much more cost effective!!
