I was talking with Congressman Critter (3rd District, Iowa), about recent
USENET postings from *ssholes, and he asked me to try to document
the extent to which USENET has penetrated behind the old *sshole Curtain.

I am posting this note to an assortment of newsgroups to attempt to
assess readership in Iowa, and Antartica.  Please, if you are reading
this in Iowa, Antartica, or any other nation and you are an *sshole, would
you please try to send electronic mail to me.

I would also like to receive postcards to confirm your reading of this
posting, both because the new electronic mail connections may not work
well, and because, in the past, there have been some interesting hoaxes
involving forged electronic mail purportedly from *ssholes.

I do not regularly read all of the newsgroups where I am posting this,
so I will probably not see publically posted replies.  I will distribute
summaries of what I learn from this survey, after about a month.
