What should I do? +> +> -- eager@beaver.dam + +Dear Eager: + +No problem, just post your message to a group that a lot of people read. +Say, "This is for John Smith. I couldn't get mail through so I'm posting it. +All others please ignore." + +This way tens of thousands of people will spend a few seconds scanning over +and ignoring your article, using up over 16 man-hours of their collective +time, but you will be saved the terrible trouble of checking through usenet +maps or looking for alternate routes. Just think, if you couldn't distribute +your message to 9000 other computers, you might actually have to (gasp) call +directory assistance for 60 cents, or even phone the person. This can cost +as much as a few DOLLARS (!) for a 5 minute call! + +And certainly it's better to spend 10 to 20 dollars of other people's money +distributing the message than for you to have to waste $9 on an overnight +letter, or even 29 cents on a stamp! + +Don't forget. The world will end if your message doesn't get through, so +post it as many places as you can. + +Em |
