Which brings up a good point: we should probably arrange for multiple injection points. This is quite legitimate and would address many of the concerns about "slow Usenet links". We probably want to consider one in Japan, Australia, Germany, probably a few other points (haven't studied the maps lately), and two points in the US. This would allow for rapid dissemination via Usenet. :-) If need be, I can probably offer spool.mu.edu as an injection point. ...
