It seems like the author of a 27 part posting could be asked to supply a
description of what the posting is.
ALL postings should have a "One-Liner" or better supplied to the Moderator.
Certainly the Moderator should not have to figure out what everything is.

It will be noted that I've taken action to avoid this in the future; hopefully I'll be up on UUNET in a week or so. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.

In the meantime, try gatech or some other backbone. ++Brandon -- Brandon S Allbery uunet!hal.cwru.edu!ncoast!allbery allbery%ncoast@hal.cwru.edu (LAST RESORT ONLY: allbery@uunet.uu.net) DELPHI: ALLBERY comp.sources.misc is moving off ncoast -- please do NOT send submissions direct "So many articles, so little time...." -- The Line-Eater

You will see that comp-sources-misc@uunet.uu.net works fine. I have no idea what sources-misc@uunet.uu.net is supposed to do, but its not in Spaffords list of moderators aliases. --rick
