<> You are reading the words of who has stumbled into a maze of twisty little passages, all enticing. I have more or less stumbled into the net, and have a few rather advanced questions. First, what net is this: ARPA, UUCP, some other, or a mixture? About how many computers, and more importantly, people are there on the net? How do I read the network addresses people leave at the end of a note, most of which are 3/4 of a line long and jingle around a dozen exclamation marks? Anything else I should know and you would like to tell me? Thanks in advance to all the kind souls out there. Vladimir Lanin (address unknown)
