I can just see this lil gnome of a guy, with a rumpled hat that used to
maybe be pointy a LONG while ago, sittin at an aged computer, with a
bird on his shoulder (yeah, the kind with wings, you idiot), crankin out
the tidy'd-up archives like some elf.

Well, rippppp, back to reality. I gotta related question. On our own
aviation group, we have an "all-in-one" archive file (well, as it gets
hughmongous, it's chopped up into parts 1,2,3...), but it's at least
just a few files, instead of a couple hundred archive/digest files.

OK, so here's me question, to Steve the Rivet, Bruce the Pelican, and
THE GUY whose name I can't bring up right now from me own archives, that
has all but a couple of the Digest #'s saved, WHY oh WHY won't someone
who has ALL the stuff from the Big Bang on DiY_EfI, upload it to the
diy_efi ftp site, a couple few zip files containing the whole smaltz? I
don't really care if the headers are stripped or not, or if I have a
great search engine, so much as being able to do a real thorough spelunk
thru what's been said so far, vis-a-vis DIY_EFI.

If someone DOES have all the Digest files from "le BB", could they at
least announce themselves privately, so those of us that wanna ride the
Wayback Machine, could possibly do so? This would truly be a grand
contribution to archival sifting!!
