- Guys, this argument is _pointless_.
-
- The way the telcos operate between Europe make the need for
- different solutions.
-
- In North America, local calls are free. In Europe, they are not.
-
- Thus, UUCP has a much higher penetration in Europe _for the casual
- user_ than in North America. In the USA, UUCP is almost always an
- extra cost.
-
- You are both right, for your respective environments.
