Well, although I have no particular gripe about the debian archives,
java/debian on both planetmirror and aarnet is woefully out of date.
If you check /pub/java/debian/dists/woody/non-free/binary-i386 on
planetmirror we have:

The long and the short of it is that planetmirror is missing the 1.3_1.3.1
release of July 2001. Only a year behind. Not bad.
And yes, I have previously written to planetmirror to bring this to their
attention. I did not get the courtesy of a reply.
Since planetmirror now seems so concerned about getting its house in order,
could this now be addressed?
Sorry if I come over all tetchy this morning but the ABC is playing
Katchaturian's Violin Concerto at the moment.
What utter shit.

The UN poses the following question to the assembled representatives of
different countries: "Please state your opinion about the lack of sufficient
food in other countries."
Many of the representatives ran into insurmountable problems:
* No one in Africa knew the meaning of "sufficient food".
* No one in Western Europe knew the meaning of "lack".
* No one in Eastern Europe knew the meaning of "opinion".
* No one in the US knew the meaning of "other countries".
