- Well, I just spent 4-5 hours reading through digests from the last 3-4 days,
- and I must say that I agree that there is too much traffic on this group.
- The solution is not to split, however, but to make sure that you (we) post
- accordingly, X questions to c.w.x, gnu questions to the gnu newsgroup,
- etc. Also, makeing sure that your posts are pertinent or neccessary
- helps. (I know that this is off topic, but I do have relevant info
- later in this post.)
-
- Another way to save on the number of posts is to take the discussion
- of what is relevant to e-mail, as well as flameing via e-mail.
- Also, watching those follow-up to: lines. ;)

- Well, enough babbling... down to business.

- Can you believe that I have to use DOS ONLY to use uupc? I can't get the
- latest UUCP sources from sunsite to compile. :( I used the new ftpmail
- server at sunsite, but it is broken. It sent over a hundred copies of the
- uuencoded sources to uucp. My uucp feed is upset, but it would take an
- act of GOD or Congress to get them(ATT) to delete the spool files.
- (Fortunately, after five days, they will expire there. ;)) I let uupc
- run for a day and a half(@2400) before I pulled the plug(ran out of disk space
- on a drive with 40 MB free).
- Anyway, from this account, the ftpmail doesn't even work. !! ;)
- This is just a note for JEM@sunsite that the address ftpkeeper doesn't
- work.(well, I was ignored!)
- BTW, I am still at .98.0 with X1.1, and happy mostly!
- BUT, it is a shame that I have to spend so much time keeping up with Linux
- on the group, that I have no time left to Linux!!!
- Later All!!!

- PS, follow-up to e-mail!!!!!!!!
