Hi Daniel...

Sure, you can sign up for any length of time.  I simply extend time from the
expiration date forward.

As for LDS (long distance service) charges: I'm putting the finishing touches
on the NTC mail out.

First time through, (R)ead <R>everse for as long as you can stand it.  Then,
each time you come back, simply (R)ead <N>ew messages.  The first act will set
your last-message-read pointer to the last message on the system.  It will also
get you through the latest messages.  You can always clean things up after you
log off.  From there on out you will always get only the latest messages and
threads.

Every now and then I consider capturing threads into stand-alone files but the
amount of work and time involved is more then I can handle.  So, the work
doesn't get done.  But, who knows.  Somewhere along the line I might get a
brain storm and organiza various topics.

 > 3.  Last but not least what has happened to my source disks?

Oh!  Oops!  Ahhhmmmm... yeah.... your disks are sitting here.  As I recall, I
was going to need an older deARCing tool.  Looks like this project dropped to
the back burner.  I'll turn the heat up.  Thanks for the reminder.
