I feel the need to add a clarifying remark my statement that "when a
   service is free then YOU are the product."
   This discussion list, hosted by Wayne Cripps and his servers, is in
   fact a freely available service that does not, to my knowledge, mine
   personal information from its users.
   It's been a while since we all thanked Wayne publicly for providing
   this forum, and for taking steps to protect its users.  The lute-list
   is a much appreciated remnant of old-school egalitarianism.
   Thanks, Wayne.
