Re: List etiquette

Yes, you neanderthal  :-)   It's in the system - you get to pay for "free"
in some ways.  I'll check further into the system but I do believe that's
the setup.

And yes, it would be helpful if folks asking for feedback made it clear to
do it offlist.

And yes, we all screw up now and then - it's just that now and then becomes
a little more regular every now and then.  So every now and then, the
list-owner has to put something out there - a shot across the bow so to
speak.

Speaking of Neanderthals - I hope you've all seen the latest data that shows
that if your origin is anywhere but Africa, you have Neanderthal genetics so
please don't run these folks down.
