1. Given the impact on various viruses on the internet in general and folks here in particular, list discussion of trojans and virusus (viri?) here was understandable. Without in any way chastising participants in that discussion here, I'd like to cheerfully suggest we declare viruses and trojans off topic going forward and move on. If you do have any concerns about viruses and this list in particular, or any other list administrative concerns, let me know via private email. I'm not aware that any trojan-laden software made it to the list but it might have - my own software would have killed them so I might not have realized it. 2. Since the Xmission mailman software upgrade, this list has been set to more or less operate on autopilot. This means that the mailman software will unsubscribe you automatically after a certain number of bounces. If this happens, it's not personal, and I have set things so I won't even know. I can change this if it becomes a problem, but believe me, I am very happy about this - I used to process maybe 10 bounced emails a day, and u-n-s-u-b-s-c-r-i-b-e people by hand. If you noticed that you are not getting messages, just go to http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint and re- s-u-b-s-c-r-i-b-e. Thanks to Jim Muth, there's a message from the list most days. 3. I have received several requests to u*n*s*u*b*s*c*r*i*b*e that were sent to the list. Please note that you can uanbscudbesfcgrhiibje yourself using the web interface posted at the bottom of every list message. You don't need to ask to be u!n!s!u!b!s!c!r!i!b!e!d. But of course if you do ask me, I'll do it. Also notice that certain requests won't make it to the list because the words are taboo, even for all powerful list administrators such as myself. I am sure you are all clever enough to figure out what I mean, and can see the devilishly brilliant means I used in this very message to thwart the censoring software! :-) 4. This message was necessarily on topic because I wrote it, but responses to this message are hereby declared off topic. I just love writing that! 5. This message will self-destruct in five seconds ...
