I have paper copies of many UK undergrounds and would be willing to scan some missing issues. I see these text messages in the threads, I would love to know how to unstring(?) them. Hey, I'm 70. I just downloaded Yellow Dog from various places, all but numbers 21, 22, 23, and 25, and my search has led me here.
