I mainly "lurk" here on this email list -- am not "official" in any way.

Frankly, I don't know just who "owns" the web site; for the several
years I've been here it has been at two different locations -- 
someone manages to find some computer somewhere, often at a school,
that we can use.

I myself can't see how anyone could complain if you took a
shot of the site and put it in a book as a "wonderful site".

ESPECIALLY if you ALSO said that LYNX was the best darn browser
you'd ever seen!  (And FREE, too)_

(Although you'd better actually try it before you say that --
you can get the software from that very site you are talking
about).
