  Well, I was trying to *do* something about the present instance, by
requesting replies off-list.  :)

  Do we need to have that discussion again?  :)  See, for example:

http://www.mail-archive.com/gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org/msg09838.html

http://www.mail-archive.com/gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org/msg08375.html

  I may well be the world's biggest necroequinsadist, but I've only
got so much time in the day.... ;-)

  That's a good point.  I sub'ed soon after it was created, but
conversation quickly died out.  The list home page used to be

http://mailman.puissante.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cafe

but that comes up with a "No such list" error now.  Apparently, it has
died.  Perhaps it could be resurrected?
