    Subject: Re: URLs should contain types [AND DATES]

Life always teaches us. I had just finished sending off the previous
message about time stamps on URLs when I found a message in my mailbox
about the Internet MBONE. It said in it:

Naively, I ftp'd to nic.ncsa.uiuc.edu. Guess what.

Looking in /pub and /maps doesn't reveal the given files either (although
there are files whose names indicate they may contain related material
since the substring "...MBONE..." appears in them).

A look back at the entire message showed that the piece of text I had found
was part of an FAQ file dated 10-Nov-92. Nuff said?
