[Foundation-l] Old newspapers going to destruction

[John at Darkstar]

I don't know. Apparently someone just show up at the store house with a
letter giving them the power to start the processing, and then it seems,
someone called Aftenposten and the whole process was halted. Now it
seems like everyone points to the technical director of UiO.

Sorry, this is a bit off topic for this list...
