I don't know - it wasn't me.

Surely you jest! All told the messages I have saved (those with "folklore"
and the like in the subject headers) are somewhere around 2 MB! I
doubt very much if there's enough sites between here and where you
are that would appreciate the time it'd take to transfer a mail msg THAT 
big.

I saved these because  the topic looked humerous and I didn't have time to 
read them all (I still don't). I never expected them to go for as long as
they did. (Maybe some time when I have a week to spare or so I put my 
feet up and peruse these things.)

Are there any other people who are interested in this compilation of net
computer folklore?  There's no order to it, it was all saved by a command
planted in my kill file to just write it all to a file. If there's enough
interest, I'm sure something could be arranged. (Would sending a 5.25" 1.2MB
diskette with a self-addressed mailer and a few $$ to cover postage and my 
time to make the copy be ok? I don't have any intention of making money 
on this, but this if there's a lot of interest it would take away from my 
normal $$$ making work to do this.) I can send out copies of this in 
either PKARC (for you MS-DOS'rs out there) or various SCO Xenix tar formats 
(compressed and tar'd, or just tar'd...)

Thoughts? Opinions? Flames? Squirt-guns? Anyone????
