Just after I initiated this post, I stopped getting messages from the
list. Seems sporadic this morning, though my non-list email has been
working fine all that time. I'd like to see the upshot of the
discussion because issues like the ones in this post are exactly the
kind of thing I wanted to see come from it.

If anyone can gather a few of the responses and send them my way, I'd
appreciate it.
