[news.admin] small nodes, etc.

lauren@vortex.UUCP (03/10/87)

I think someone hit it on the head when they pointed out that there are
lots of small nodes already out there, and the main network is hardly
even aware of them.  I know for a fact that there are a considerable 
number of UULINK sites on Usenet with multiple users on each one (each user
with their own individual user id's, mailboxes, etc.) and of course there
are many PC's running Unix with one or more users per machine.
Usenet seems to be surviving. 

I'm very interested in user-contributed add-on utilities designed to work
with UULINK, but I would appreciate it if the authors of such programs would 
send them to me first so that I can help ensure compatibility with the
evolving package.  

Finally, I sense that some of this discussion is no longer appropriate
for these particular newsgroups.  A UULINK-interest mailing list
is a possibility, but in the meantime I would appreciate it if persons
with specific questions about the package would contact me directly,
so that we're not forcing the entire network to wade through messages that
are only of interest to some.  Thanks.
