No.  I made a unilateral decision to create a rapid standby list as a 
result of the necessity of *fast* communication caused by the post-code 
kerfuffle, where 4-hour delays were totally UNACCEPTABLE; informed the 
list of it and why I had made it; and yes, you obviously missed it, 
because I asked you to do something about it, and then heard nothing 
further from you.
(So see archives.  It's at the bottom of a message -- you have to scroll 
down to read it...)

<sigh> Is this where I trot out my "learn to use your mail agent properly" 
speech again?  :)
'Fraid we'll always differ on this one, Sean.

mailing list technologies...

<aloud> Ahem ... If you'd read my mail, you could have the standby list on 
the lugog.org.uk server by now and be running it yourself; then you could 
impose whatever sort of reply-to convention you wished.  :)

It's been a tough week, Sean!


P.S.  To all posters -- if you want your posts to appear in the archives, 
please cc to BOTH lists -- the temporary rapid standby list and the 
dog-slow UKlinux one. 
The archives of the list on avalonit.net are NOT permanent.
The UKlinux ones are.

Cheers,
