Hello everybody,
    Sorry for having not joined in any discussion for months, but it
looks like something was silently dropping incoming mail from lpi.org.

  I'm afraid it'd take me longer than that!  :-)

  I could drop a few lines here and there, sure.

  Useful indeed.
I'd like to help.  Only, I am now busy on Saturdays, too (last Saturday
I delivered the fifth of a 20 sessions LPI online course) and will be
unavailable the month of May.  Still, I'd really like dropping a few
lines here and there, I probably have many already there to contribute.
