And within the past year the pressure from "crackers" has increased
to an extent you cannot immagine.  (Already it knocked out the central
repository for Lynx under anonymous ftp -- another favorite target.)

It remains, albeit quietly, for _legitimate_ users.

What does UCB have to do with anything?  (I'm a Cal Aggie man myself :)
And tell me about those "innocent questions."  One of the "innocent
questions" last year almost resulted in pubLynx going off the WWW
permanently.  Fortunately the ISP the guys were going through pulled
the plug on them.

Questions not directly related to lynx-dev I usually answer off the list,
as I did the one in question, with the appropriate URL.
