Hi cherry. Since werc's original author passed away it's fallen to me to
manage this list.

Sorry about that. The list has been set to "moderated" by default, which holds
messages for approval. I've changed your status manually so your posts will
not require manual authorization. I'm not sure why the list was set this way,
but maybe in the future we can enable unmoderated posts by members.

Makes sense. But I wonder if it might not be better to fix template.awk
rather than to add another execution of cat to every instance of echo in the
program. We're already fighting an uphill struggle for performance on Plan 9
(see: cat-v.org).

Good question. I've never attempted to setup werc using Plan 9's ip/httpd.
The cat-v.org sites run on rc-httpd (I did need to make the change to
headers.tpl mentioned above).

Thanks for the notes. Always welcome.
