And, like SURBL, regardless of the official origin of the idea, I know for a fact that fuzzyocr benefited tremendously from discussions on the SA list and I'd bet money that the author would happily agree. I also recall the author of fuzzyocr at one point saying something like, "hey guys, sorry I'm hogging your list... here is my new list especially devoted to fuzzyocr"... (that wasn't an exact quote... but he said something to that effect)... and that was totally appropriate and polite for him to do that. Up to that point, I don't think anyone minded the frequent discussions of fuzzyocr... but it did make sense, like SURBL, for fuzzyocr to have out to its own list for detailed discussions. But I have recent memories of tremendously good feedback on the SA list regarding fuzzyocr which also benefited fuzzyocr... particularly before the official fuzzyocr list began. Like SURBL, fuzzyocr would have suffered had discussion about it on the SA list been "clamped down" with "off-topic" complaints. Rob McEwen
