- Thanks to everyone who responded to my previous posting.
-
- I'm not insensitive to those people who pay for their network connections
- out of their own pocket. I know how much it costs to receive an internet
- feed. However, I will be reposting the stories in their entirety at least
- once more. It has been two months since I last posted them, so I don't
- believe that this is unreasonable. I will edit them to remove as many
- duplicates as possible. (I'm sure we have all heard enough 'rm *' stories,
- right?) Hopefully this will reduce the overall size and increase the
- signal/noise ratio of the posting in favor of signal.
-
- I will also be making the stories available by ftp. Unfortunately, RIT
- has no anon. ftp setup, and since I'm not connected to the net, I can't
- provide anon ftp from my home box. I have had a couple pointers to ftp
- sites. I will discuss possibilities with administrators of those sites
- in the near future. I'm hoping that people who don't have ftp access will
- be able to get the stories by ftpmail. (If you have experience using
- ftpmail, please mail me about what that entails)
-
- Thus, in the future, I will post only additions to the stories, with a
- pointer to ftp sites and ftpmail for people who want to get the whole
- summary. I believe this to be a reasonable compromise between posting
- every couple of months and not posting at all.
-
- For those who are waiting for a posting, you will have to wait just a bit
- longer. I have been in communication with Arne Asplem, the originator of
- the thread back in October, and he has a collection of stories that were
- mailed to him directly. He will be sending those to me shortly. I have
- also received a few stories from people directly, and I am in the process
- of editing those. I figure that it will be a couple of weeks before I am
- ready to post, but I think it will be worth the wait. ;-)
-
- Please direct comments (and more stories!) to my mailbox, not to the net.
-
- Happy New Year!
