You'd think that's the way it should be, wouldn't you? Most respectable
companies I can think of would do things this way.

Because, apparently, I now exist for the convenience of these self-
appointed "archivers", who are "doing the net a great service" by
forcing me to do extra work.
Feh.

Here's a fun suggestion: Unsubscribe them from your list, but don't tell
them you did it, and every day or two, send them a few uuencoded core files

Naturally, I wouldn't do such a thing myself. But boy, it's sure fun to
think about.
