As expected, I have been asked to retract my remarks; please pretend
that anything South of this line does not exist. No personal offense was
meant to Nat, the list manager. I did say "don't jump on this", but that

mentally erase the paragraph below. The line above, however, stands.

This post should *NOT* under any circumstances be considered an example
of such clamping down; it isn't.
