Jason, have you been to the web-site lately? In all cases, rookies get the
mailer-list data from that site. Recently, I had to resubscribe and found
the info there. There are accompanying descriptions as well. It's all on the
same web-page. I'm not giving a URL, if you can't find it then I might
concede this point. But, please give it an honest effort.

Many of us have other things to do besides camp out on this list, or any
other list, for the occasional tid-bit of relevence. Having the messages
pre-sorted into convenient bins helps a lot. It also helps focus the
discussion. That is something that the GA sorely needs...a little focus.

You expect to prevent this? ... how? If I wanted to set up a separate
opinion poll, on DNSO.NET, I'd dearly like to see anyone, in any official
capacity, try and stop me. You are missing a fundimental point. Almost to
the point of being a troll.
