that's no excuse.  I hereby volunteer to host a web page on my machine
here at MIT (a few floors up from GNU) with a server-side include that
will dynamically fetch the current document from the GNU ftp servers.
Maybe it won't be as robust as the global mirroring system, but the fact
that we can't do it *everywhere* doesn't mean that we can't (or
shouldn't) do it *somewhere*.

For extra credit, I'll even program a dynamic fetch from a randomly chosen
GNU ftp site, in the off chance that millions of developers want to
simultanously sign FSF release forms.
