Oh No! Sebastian left! I don't read all the mail
either, but perhaps I won't have to! We, North Americans,
may not be aware that BITNET is slowly dying of junk
mail. BITNET offices have been moved from Princeton to
Washington. All the senior staff of BITNET resigned.
BITNET is overloaded with mail and may soon die because
of over use. Check it out with your EDUCOM representative.
We at Penn- and let me add we [this University] are guilty too since we
constitute one sixth of all east coast BITNET use- are
investigating other networks and may soon disappear off
BITNET to be resurrected on a newer NET. Stay tune
and keep sending junk mail out and see what happens.
You too may be left without a network, and not by choice.
Questions for the Europeans: Is EARN dying too?
How long before we all start paying for the Atlantic connection?

There are other archaeologists at Southampton who subscribe to Humanist!
I must admit, however, that I regret SQPR leaving the list. I find that
although there are some general topics which are of interest to me,
most aren't. I am, however, blessed with a very easy to use delete key and
have just managed to get through over three weeks of humanist in 45 mins!
Is there another list which may be more use to me other than the aie
based in Soton? I apologise to those who may accuse me of clogging up
their mailboxes with trivial enquiries.

ps has anyone tried using [canonical] correspondence analysis on 4th
century roman coin data?
