Nah.  There was a period in the mid-1990s after I'd left university but
before I was able to afford my own computer where my RACC reading
was basically 'skim-only'.  But what I do have fills about one-and-a-half
drawers in a normal sized filing cabinet.  The fact that the early stuff was
printed one sided on tractor feed and the rest was word-processed for
doubled sided at 9 point for better text-to-paper size ratio may have
something to do with it.

He actually asked me in private email if I could help him with the addresses
of the various archive/webpage administrators for a project that he
wouldn't decsribe but which would probably upset a lot of people.  In
retrospect this must have been what he was talking about, and your
reaction indicates that he was right...

No no no no no. Some villain attacks the LNH with a device that renders all
the humans unconscious.  This leaves W.I.L.B.U.R., Cauliflower, Mojodog,
Peelix, Hailu Gorilla, Occultism Kid's door warden, the Red Herring, and 
zillions
of kiwis and oozlefinches, plus possible guest appearances by Icthys the
zombie fish and Venbdorr the-soda-machine-that-walks-like-a-man, to
coordinate the defenses of the LNH-HQ.  Just don't call them the
Legion of Net.Pets.   :-P
