Since the GAO dataset is of relatively limited interest, it might have
been more happily accepted if the "source" had been simply announced and
made available via an FTP/UUCP archive server, ala' Sun-Spots or alt.gourmand.
Thus, only those interested in it could have requested it.

Perhaps comp.archives could have played a part in this.
