Dear Link,
We must do something re Link technical problems
eg mangled text and coherant emails taking forever
& today a worthy linker writes. We need bold ideas !!
Howdy,
I've yet again had my subscription put on hold for excessive bounces, this is
again because mailman is not configured with DMARC
work arounds and someone at zoho.com on the list has set reject policy, I'm not
complaining about them, they have every right to do this,
thats why mailman has settings to get around it, if you are not going to
configure mailman with those settings, you have my blessing
to unsub me from link, because I'm not playing this resub game again.
Cheers

After having my foot measured by a gadget in a sports store, I did a
Google web search to translate mm into a size. Google's AI Overview said:
"A men's shoe size that fits a foot length of 266 mm is a US size 9.5
or an Irish/UK size 8.5".
However, it then said "US size 9: Fits a foot length of 262?265 mm". So
it went up half a shoe size because my foot was only 1mm over the range
from the previous size. Shouldn't it have rounded down?
ps: Not a life or death issue, but I thought I would test if I can still
