This newsgroup is for reporting what you have hacked on lately.  No
hack too big or small.  Discussion and requests for assistance are not
allowed unless you also contribute a report of something you did.  This
one rule is not enforced, but I encourage everyone to ignore people who
violate it, or if you must, remind them of the rule via email instead
of via further inappropriate postings.

To cut down on mindless violations of the rule, the group is
self-moderated - marked as moderated, but with no moderator's address.
Anyone who can figure out how to approve a message is welcome to post.
I'm not going to post the (trivial) instructions for actually doing
it.
