Lettuce to the Editor

Been meaning to send you a letter saying how funny yr stuff was and
how much I've been enjoying it. Then this issue came along and I
write instead--no, in addition--with a complaint.

How do you get that way?  You make this long list of canonical files
and then don't say where they're posted.  Hey, everybody, here's a
whole bunch of funny jokes I found. You should read them."  Well,
yeah, man.  Sure. I can dig it.  Sounds funny to me too.  Thanks for
the tip.

NOW WHERE ARE THEY!! Grrr. Grrr....

If they do have a single, simple place, I'd love to have you e-mail
the secret to me so I can bounce some more e-mail ftp requests to the
archive spots you indicate.

I look forward to your reply as well as to future issues.

Tom

Hi Tom,

You bring up a good point.  The idea behind the article was to make
fun of the concept of canonical lists.  For some reason it never
occurred to me that readers would actually try to locate these lists.
Since almost half of the lists in the article were made up my me, it
will be most difficult to find them, unless someone decides to create
them.  

Those that are real are posted regularly on the rec.humor newsgroup.
There is no common FTP site that I'm aware of.  Each list (and there
are really dozens of them) may or may not be available for download
somewhere.  If someone wants to send me a list of the real lists and 
download/FTP locations, I'd be happy to publish it.

Hi
Need proof that life isn't fair?  I just downloaded ALL of 
the work you have put into RAH - the late hours, the 
frustrations, the worries -- in less than 3 minutes!  ;-)

Jim,
Who told you about my late hours, frustrations, and worries?  Are you
spying on me?  Is that your real name?  You're the one that's out to 
get me, aren't you?  Arrgh!  <hides under desk>  DKB
