The forwards were crypto related and relevant to some of the members who don't have anything other than e-mail accounts. How do you propose these folks get this info?
First, how were they crypto-related? They dealt with statistical tests for distinguishing good crypto-weak RNGs from bad ones. Anything that even hopes to be a strong RNG will pass this sort of tests. Second, if people don't have Usenet, telnet, or ftp access (any of which could have been used to retrieve these articles), they can get accounts that do what they want. If you want to tide them over in the interim, you could post a pointer to sci.math, with the comment that you would be happy to mail a copy to anyone who can't get the articles by other means.
