Well, actually, I am this list's nanny, and I do read the list. Sometimes
I'm just scanning through it, but I am here if you need me.

You're right about that; that's why list members hear from me so
infrequently (unless you forget to trim the footers from your posts.  :-)  )

As a nanny, I have no power to change the definition of the list; that would
be up to Dan.

I have a lot of sympathy with Kanga owners, since it's so close to the 3400.
I don't think I've ever given anyone a hard time about posting Kanga
questions here, nor do I intend to do so in the future.

The Wallstreet and other G3s are officially OT. However, under the
"once-removed" rule, scattered questions about them are allowed. In
practice, the older the powerbook, the less likely I am to object to a
discussion of it here. It's when people post stuff about Pismos and up that
may have little or no application to the official topic here that I speak up
after a bit and say: there's another list for those.
