Yeah, after watching the newsgroup work, not work, and work better than the
mailing list over the past week, I'm firmly convinced that there's a
master's thesis in computer science somewhere in the workings of AU's
mail/news server.
I'm gonna visit there ONE of these days, if I can ever get well long enough
to schedule a trip. (Visions of "hey, what if you turn this 'screw up the
Usenet Gateway' switch to the OFF position?")
