Well, contrary to what people on this list has replied to me, sometimes I 
sure didn't receive the mailed e-mail I mail to majordomo (but I assume 
some people get it because *sometimes* I get replies). The last e-mail 
test went through without flaw, so I guess it's more of a time-and-space 
sorta thing, eh?

Recently for several weeks, I noticed that stuff I'm getting is out of 
order -- usually I get replies before I get the original posts which the 
replies were about. There was another dude who sent a private mail to me 
from either .at or .au saying he was having the same problem. I guess 
this is not a local phenomenon restricted to me, huh?

And, yes, I sometimes do get multiple copies of the same stuff over and 
over and over... Well, you get the idea.

Q: How many Unix user does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 23. One to edit the cron table to preemptively schedule
   the change; one to fire up emacs to write the bulb-
   changing driver; one to modify the cpasswd file to allow
   the driver resource access; one to write the bulb
