Note #69, which previously held many issues of HHGttN has been completely
removed with the assent of all who contributed to that note.

 For all those who flame against HHGTTN, read "The Flamers" episode.  

 HHGTTN is a cheap, tawdry ripoff, that is downright unfunny at times.

 It also sparks instant love-hate polarity.  HHGTTN also has one 
incredibly useful purpose: just the mention of it in a NOTESfile 
attracts (and therefore identifies) Flamers.

 (Why identify Flamers?  For whatever nefarious reasons you want...)
107.7Notesfile is gone.PROXY::CANTORGo ahead; quote my say.Thu Nov 30 1989 22:029
The notesfile mentioned in .0 has been deleted.  It's been gone for
several years.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no source of HHG on the
Enet any more.  

This note is write-locked.
