Just so people know: we do our best to respond to *all* mail that comes in to the "c-news" address mentioned in the C News README file. Sometimes there is a short delay if we're busy, but if you didn't get a response after a considerable wait, it probably means either (a) your mail didn't reach us, or (b) our reply didn't reach you. (One way to help avoid (b) is to supply a signature giving your [electronic] mail address either as an Internet address or relative to [say] uunet. Figuring it out from the message headers can be virtually impossible in bad cases, and even when we can figure out how it got to us, that path doesn't necessarily work in reverse. There are far too many demented mailers out there that just love to rip open your envelope, scribble all over the headers inside with a big black felt pen, and then seal it up again and send it on, instead of just looking at the address on the envelope and ignoring the contents like any sane postal system should.) -- $10 million equals 18 PM | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology (Pentagon-Minutes). -Tom Neff | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
