Marc Sira wrote to me in an E-mail:

I don't know how; to be correct, I have NO IDEA HOW ANY OF THESE
WORK.  i.e.

          A)     What is "FIDO?"
          2)     What is "UUCP?"
          c)     What is the "backbone?"  What is a "gateway?"
          iv)    Why can people get to me and me not get back?
                 Why would some of my E-mail not bounce back????
          e)     Why would anything bounce back anyway?  My "posts"
                 like this one seem to get "out!"  Solipsisim aside,
                 I know that Marc exists since he has re-sent the
                 file I requested.  (Thanks Marc!  I got the other
                 too.)  

I hope Click and Clack approve.                   Larry
