No, Sam Michel is our kindly host here. More info's in the mail sent when

you subscribed.


Note that a mailing list is *not* a chat line. Each message gets pushed out

to all subscribers.


Many people take mailing lists in "digest" mode, where an entire day's

articles are consolidated. Different types of online communication have

different styles and fill different needs.


(iow, a mailing list is not designed for rapid-fire low-value conversation,

but -- due to each message being read and evaluated by each subscriber --

is better suited to considered conversation.)
