As uucp adminstrators it is easy for us to forget that many of the people using USENET do not have the power to add uucp connections. Suggesting that they arrange for a direct connection doesn't help them at all. I'm not saying that you have any duty to help them, I just want you to be aware of the situation these users are in. It can be difficult to be sympathetic to someone who talks about "the accursed harpo machine", but I think it is worth an effort. Phil Ngai
