[SunRescue] RE: Bill's Big-Honkin bandwidth!

Yeah, we could devise some form of store and forward protocol, and maybe a mechanisim for only forwarding messages when phone rates are low/during various windows of opportunity, and maybe we could also implement some form of directory, listing all the sites we share information with.

Maybe we should just make a newsgroup, and have several mirrors...

As long as the tags/whatever are such that they won't suprise/offend my boss if he sees them looking over my shoulder, (or worse, my wife!) that's fine.

I dont mind at all.  Speaking of which, putting all our geek minds 
together, there must be some way to devise a distributed mailing list.  For 
example, ten of us could pool our bandwidth limitations together and 
support a large list with "free" bandwidth.  I cant think of a way, but I 
just started thinking about it.  Possibly a round robin DNS approach, but 
that would make list archiving a mess. Any ideas?
