- Now wait a second. There are plenty of netnews sites that do not have
- email and ftp access. To solve that problem, however, I recommend setting
- up gnu.sources as an alternative means of getting the source out. It
- should not be too hard to set up an automated poster that would post
- about 64k an hour. You should then have a recycle time of about, oh, say
- 2 months (not that bad really :-).
