It sounds like an ugly trolling. You are using broken MUA, incompatible 
with 30-yrs old RFC, making problem for consistent reading of your 
threads and asking for bonuses to fix this ugly behavior.

Another bit, JFYI. RFC 2822 says:
RFC reply messages SHOULD have In-Reply-To: and References: fields
(the meaning of SHOULD is described in RFC 2119). Actually, I'm quite
surprised that your mail client, even if 30-year-old, does not insert
these fields, since they were described in RFC 724 as early as in 1979.

TSM30 source found!

2011-09-29 Thread Michael Sokolov
Hello again everyone,

I am pleased to announce that a very helpful comrade has pointed me to a
website containing the TSM30 source I was looking for, the same one
which I've been told had been sitting openly on SourceForge for a
whopping 5 y before being taken down.  I have downloaded the huge file
(500 MiB) and verified its integrity.

Notes:

1. Per my promise and per my general practice, I will not reveal the
   identify of the comrade who has provided me with the ware;

2. Being unsure as to whose server that site is hosted on, I won't share
   the download link either.  However, my benefactor has not made any
   requests that I refrain from sharing the ware itself, hence I will
   share the big file publicly via my own server (physically housed in
   my own personal datacenter and using a domain name owned by me).

3. The 500 MiB file is far too big for my current VAX FTP server.
   Therefore, while I do intend on publishing the file via FTP, it
   won't happen immediately.  Instead it will have to wait until I set
   up a new server running on newer HW (bigger disks) and using a better
   ftpd.  Setting up that new server has been my plan for a long time
   now, I just need to get around to it.

Apart of legal aspects, why don't you just make it a torrent and let all
who want to host it? This is very efficient way to spread big files over
the net.

I'm similarly confused as to why he doesn't just send an email to
the list pointing to the url of the website from which the file is 
already being hosted:

... is this some secret darknet website that only a few privileged elite
have access to or something? All that talk of Bad Guys withholding
information earlier... and now... you're witholding information and 
acting like some sort of middle-man to the source you wanted 
'liberated' so badly.

This comrade of yours... is incapable of simply posting here to the list
anonymously? I just don't understand why you're the middle-man 
in such a very simple situation.

To Michael's correspondent:  it'd be _somewhat_ more transparent and 
trustworthy were you to communicate (anonymously) here to the list,
rather than indirectly via Michael as an agent.

My 2 cents: If you don't want the software, don't download it.
Michael, thanks for making it available. I will probably download it
and look at it because I am curious, I am very busy so that's probably
all I will do.

I have been in the situation Michael described - I had a copy of
source for a nice paint program that I wrote, but it was owned by a
former employer. The company changed hands a couple times, the product
was discontinued, but technically the software was not mine. I ended
up throwing it all away. So much human creativity and effort just goes
into the waste bin because it is intellectual property.  If I had a
religion this would be a sin.

Excuse me, Michael did you say VAX server? :-) Once you replace it
what will you do with the extra floor space? The savings on your
electric bill would pay for a virtual server in the Cloud.

Yes, I maintain several VAXen here:

http://ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG/Quasijarus/

One is the FTP server, another is my mail server, plus other machines
and functions.

 Once you replace it

Who said replace?  I will *never* give up my VAXen!  My plan is simply
to set up an additional box and make it the primary FTP server.

 electric bill would pay for a virtual server in the Cloud.

No thanks.  I want nothing to do with clouds.  I will not put myself
and my work at the mercy of someone else's TOS/AUP.  I run and host
everything I care about on my own physical hardware which stays in my
own physical custody in my own personal datacenter on my own soil which
I have declared to be my own nation.  It's a TOS-free zone here.
