I have not yet managed to get an alias set up. So, submissions and mail all end up in my mailbox. I hope to get this corrected soon but am making no promises. In the meantime, if you're sending mail that you don't want posted, please let me know. Most of you simply need to press f or F to follow-up and the article will be sent to me. Some of you, however, are on machines using an older version of the software. If _you_ hit f or F, the article goes on its merry way. When it hits a machine with the newer software, every time it hits a machine with the newer software, I get a copy of it. Sometimes that's 80 or more copies. I'll let you know if you're one of those people. Others of you (like those at Berkeley) if you press f or F your article goes tap dancing off into the great void. It seems that you have to mail it directly to me. Soon after this group was created, I got a complaint about letting articles through that were mostly quoted material. So, I'm not doing that any more. There's a tradition on the net of quoting somebody's article (or a large portion) appending a funny comment and sending it on. Some of those postings are very funny, but I'm not going to include them in the group. Otherwise, if you mail me something and it doesn't get posted and you don't hear from me, it probably never reached me. Send me mail and ask. Bear with me, -Trish
