I understand that reminders can be even more irritating than people who don't follow local customs, but given Björn's endorsement I will occasionally post my notice. I also appreciate what Derek said in another message, and I would just like to say that I only post the notices because the regulars in vim_use have asked for them. Re the spam message (I don't want to lengthen that thread by replying there): I got confirmation that I had clicked the "spam" button because when I went to investigate the spammer, I found that they were banned on vim_mac (which happens when I click "spam"), but there were 8 other Google Groups (not related to Vim) where the same message appeared. I hope the folks here are not as naive as in some of the other lists: I actually saw someone REPLY to the spam just to let the spammer know that something didn't quite work when they went to play the flash on the spammer's website!!! OMG folks, please never click anything in an email; the spammers don't want only your eyes, they want to own your computer so they can utilise your Internet connection by turning your box into a zombie.
