 Here's one. Someone was looking for anecdotes on how the I-net was
used, so they posted a message to a group called comp.protocols.tcp-ip
asking for them. With in days they had 5 very good responces (6?).

I know of lots of cases like that. Mailing lists and news, while they
could all be UseNet/UUCPed, are helped tremendously by the I-net, and they
in turn help speed the flow of information.  Comp. Sci. at Oregon State 
(CS.ORST.EDU) would be very much hampered w/o them, that is for sure.
