Mr. Spencer's at one of Ontario's financially strapped universities and he (and the powers that be) find it hard to justify paying so much in long distance charges for so much repetitive and sometimes useless junk. Now if you would like to prove yourself un-selfish, you should offer to pay for his long distance costs. Very few people on the net (myself included) pay for the privilege, or do anything to help maintain the net. I look at it as a simple case of "put up or shut up". If you want to see net.sources.mac, you pay for it, because *someone* has to. John
