Notes and recommendations.
Ever since I ceased publication of The Network Observer in the summer of 1996, I have been using the Red Rock Eater News Service to send out occasional batches of informal "notes and recommendations". Here I've gathered links to these messages in the Web-based RRE archives that are kindly maintained by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@somewhere.com> at Somewhere.Com. I've also tried to summarize the topics they cover. Most of them end with lists of useful URL's that RRE subscribers have sent me.
