  that, the author for saying that Usenet defines the civilized world,
  or me for agreeing with him. ]

Well.  I'm willing to help out with this a little bit.  I'm willing
to set up news links over PC-Pursuit (no, we're not in a pc-pursuit
city, but we can get out over it quite nicely).  So long as the news
links are low traffic we won't notice it.  Of course the transfers'll
have to be done at night so it don't cost us nothing.  "low traffic"
means net.sources plus very little else.

I have a program stuck in comp.sources.unix waiting for Rich to
get done with moving to BBN.  argh!  And Brandon doesn't want to
post it in comp.sources.misc because it's not a generic program.
2*argh!
