I certainly hope this wasn't meant to be as rude as it sounds, Mr. Nelson.
Certainly this statement is untrue.  Nearly unanimous need is not necessary,
merely a sufficiently large need.  I would suggest that users try to find
a copy of ZOO on a local BBS or archive site first.  If they can't find it
then request it from the moderator, who may decide to post if there is
sufficient interest.

By the way, not everyone who gets a news feed has ftp access to the archive
sites on the net.
