Don't be silly, the September rhythm ceased in '93; everyone knows that. 
  Heck, I'm posting through a server called 'eternal-september.org'.
Or did you have some reason /other/ than seasonal rhythms to expect an 
influx?

Well since nobody seems to want to put themselves out to get a hold of all 
these rare  microdrive carts, old floppes, and 3 inch discs, i gueess soon 
landfill will be the only option.

Dare I say it, I expect that if someone were to post to the WoS forums on your behalf you'd find a taker who was willing to collect the old stuff. I can't imagine the preservation team wouldn't be interested. Shame no-one reads CSS any more.

H O R D E not H O A R D. Horde, as in army of people. Damn homophones!
I expect that's a problem you get a lot the way you read Usenet. Good

"There's nothing like eating hay when you're faint," the White King remarked to Alice, as he munched away. 
"I should think throwing cold water over you would be better," Alice suggested: "--or some sal-volatile." 
"I didn't say there was nothing better," the King replied. "I said there was nothing like it."
Which Alice did not venture to deny.
