They totaled about 800 Kbytes, and printed out, it was a stack of paper two inches high. Right now I still harbor the idea of trying to dole out the "interesting" messages in the backlog, possibly in special "digests", just to catch up, but I am loath to transmit more than a few dozen Kbytes/day for fear of filling disks and such like. Any comments? If you send 50kb a day for a while you'll be caught up in less than a month. Any site should be able to handle 50kb per day, especially if the administrators are warned ahead of time that it will be coming (as they will be since this is unix wizards). I'd say send ahead. I'm anxious to see it all. If you want to spend the time to select and digestify I have no objection, but I don't think it is necessary.
