  The filesystem overhead on a floppy is pretty high.  You can get a lot more
data on the disk using tar than you can if you need to allocate all the space
necessary to store the structure of a filesystem.

  Incidentally, Mike, why is it that half of your messages don't have a From:
line in the header?  RFC 1036 says that a From: line is required, and it's
annoying when my news reader can't show me who the message is from and when
attribution lines (like the one above) can't figure out what name to put in
because there's not From:.
