Most of the "complainers" are nervous that they will no longer be able
to ask the questions that I am banging on about, and their "fear" is
correct. This list needs to return to being a hardcore technology list
(anybody welcome to join), but the "silly questions" need to go to the
right groups. (No jibes about "No such thing as `silly questions', only
`silly answers'.", please).

With some luck, and a bit of reorganization, this list should become
hardcore content, and well worth the read :-).
