This is a helpful little tidbit.  I'm assuming, then, that one is able
to use the end of the line for more useful comments such as this not
entirely fictional scenario:
 
* Owner= [log in to unmask]      -> Bruce is our list's founder
* Owner= [log in to unmask]  -> Richard is the owner-on-call this week
* Owner= [log in to unmask]    -> Steve is this week's backup owner
 
Am I understanding correctly?
