Really? Even stupider than some of my postings?!? Damn, that's bad! :-)


Nah, seriously... I think Michael's actions were a bit rash and perhaps 
ill advised, but I think he was trying to at least get the ball rolling 
with workable alternatives. Not so much blahblah but actions.

That said, as per my previous posting I won't be joining Michael's list. 
Sure, the Reply-To thing is a pain, but it isn't enough of a pain to 
make me consider defecting - I see the value not in the mailing list 
itself (in the technical sense), but in the people ON the mailing list. 
In other words, you guys. So, where the majority is is where I shall be.

Can I bag the name "dokidoki" for my list?

Err... actually I don't think Orange.fr does mailing lists as an option. 
Oh well.

How do you propose to move without starting and migrating? The first 
step has to happen at some stage, surely?


Best wishes,

Rick.
