Summary: Thanks for the information, wish others made similar postings
To: webber@aramis,spaf@gatech,stargate@stargate

I particularly enjoyed your long informative article.  It is much
easier to digest such information when presented in such a format
rather than when mixed among alot of articles over a long period
intermixed with contradictory comments by other people.

It is with great sorrow that I contemplate the probability that a
month from now that information will be lost to the net.  I wonder
if you have contemplated the possibility of regular repostings and
updates?  Or perhaps having it collected with the normally regularly 
reposted material such as The Most Frequently Asked Questions
postings.  Such material is particularly valuable when it comes from
entities setting policies that can have substantial impact on Usenet.

You speak of ironies that you have observed.  I too find it ironic
that none of my many postings on news.stargate ever elicited a mail
message or news posting directing me to get information from the
stargate@stargate address.  Although at one point I did actually
track down an address for a person who sent me some mail thinking
that I knew all about stargate.  I believe it was Spider Robinson who
said that if a felon is someone who commits a felony, then G*d is
an iron.

[Incidently, I posted the message to the various mail addresses as
well as the news groups on which the message appeared.  I am stating
this because people recieving the mail may not be able to figure out
from the header information whether or not it was just sent from
within news or is something that was posted as well.  It is not a
good idea to encourage such confusion.]
