-
- Been meaning to send you a letter saying how funny yr stuff was and
- how much I've been enjoying it. Then this issue came along and I
- write instead--no, in addition--with a complaint.
-
- How do you get that way? You make this long list of canonical files
- and then don't say where they're posted. Hey, everybody, here's a
- whole bunch of funny jokes I found. You should read them." Well,
- yeah, man. Sure. I can dig it. Sounds funny to me too. Thanks for
- the tip.
-
- NOW WHERE ARE THEY!! Grrr. Grrr....
-
- If they do have a single, simple place, I'd love to have you e-mail
- the secret to me so I can bounce some more e-mail ftp requests to the
- archive spots you indicate.
-
- I look forward to your reply as well as to future issues.

- Hi Tom,
-
- You bring up a good point. The idea behind the article was to make
- fun of the concept of canonical lists. For some reason it never
- occurred to me that readers would actually try to locate these lists.
- Since almost half of the lists in the article were made up my me, it
- will be most difficult to find them, unless someone decides to create
- them.
-
- Those that are real are posted regularly on the rec.humor newsgroup.
- There is no common FTP site that I'm aware of. Each list (and there
- are really dozens of them) may or may not be available for download
- somewhere. If someone wants to send me a list of the real lists and
- download/FTP locations, I'd be happy to publish it.

- Hi
- Need proof that life isn't fair? I just downloaded ALL of
- the work you have put into RAH - the late hours, the
- frustrations, the worries -- in less than 3 minutes! ;-)

- Jim,
- Who told you about my late hours, frustrations, and worries? Are you
- spying on me? Is that your real name? You're the one that's out to
- get me, aren't you? Arrgh! <hides under desk> DKB
