Have had several pieces of mail from other UK sites asking me whether, if I get a copy, I'd pass it on, because they didn't get it either. I note a similar complaint from a Spanish site. Did anybody in Europe get part 06 of Jargon 2.7.1?

Is hitting your "k" key so hard? Would you please limit your postings to
newsgroups that I don't carry?
