  I'd say it's not UNIX types, per-se, but the types that exist
at Universities everywhere, i.e., power-grubbing fascists masquerading
as liberals :-)

  The NeXT would easily _automatically_ uupoll a newsfeed/mailfeed site.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if your next came with UUCP.  It
takes a bit of configuration.
  Also, you could get the Taylor UUCP system, which is the Free Software
Foundation UUCP software.
  At any rate, I'm a "UNIX Type" but I gladly help folks out with it,
and am working to bring the power and majesty of UNIX to a personal
computer :-)
