Heh! ... uh, yeah, that's why I felt it unnecessary to re-quote them in email
form :-)

I sincerely hope you do not consider ever doing that. That IMO is a gross act
of violating netiquette. It has been done before, too. Just look at how SAGE
ticked off by many of us by first attracting members by offering them a
non-archived email list, and then many years later, without permission or
warning, took all of our emails and retroactively made them web-archived.

I do know that at least one long time member on this list mentioned to me five
years ago that the reason that they were so comfy with sgvlug's list is that
it isn't webified. So, I do not speak alone on this list today.

Have you got a question about sex? Wondering about unix? or just curious why
the Jews were chosen and the rest of you Gentiles were not? Well, why not get
your answers from the Rabbi Rabbs himself at:
