I have trouble getting working paths and frequently (but >unpredictably) find articles delayed or missing... What don't you like about this? It's per the guidelines as far as I can tell. The address? It's a standard FQDN. Anybody with a nameserver can reach it. >>I will post a mass acknowledgement of votes about February 25 and >>about March 4.

BTW, re the vote. Apparently many people are voting no because they think that the vote includes a change of charter for rec.food.cooking. This is not true. Recipes can continue to be posted to rec.food.whatever. Rec.food.recipes will be nothing but recipes, though. At this point around 150 votes have been cast. It's very exciting seeing them come in. Gosh, I've never run a vote before. Some really strange comments have been included in many of the votes, despite my pointing out that it was going to a perl script and not to a person. Maybe people are testing me? Heh heh heh. aem -- a.e.mossberg / aem@mthvax.cs.miami.edu / aem@umiami.BITNET / Pahayokee Bioregion Nothing has been better proven than this maxim: that one succeeds in having too much only by causing others not to have enough. - Gracchus Babeuf
