UUCP gateway
Re: A. Feather's suggestion

I'd rather see messages of this form going back to Arpa:

	Gateway to UUCPnet Open.... No Iron Curtain here.

Or some such self-righteous garbage.  Seriously, the interchange of
information and ideas is too useful to get embroiled in hurt feelings.
I get mad when Arpa blindly refuses stuff but would rather try to shame
them (good luck!) than play the same game.  

I realize that there are a lot of issues here and that, in particular, it's
easy for us (esquire) to hype free interchange when it's not our disk space
that's getting eaten alive.  Is there some way that the gateway burden can
be shared by several sites?
