Even more disconcerting, we have discovered that a "Mallorn Computing"
^^^^^^^
company has established on the Internet a web site at which Alpine-L
postings are made available to anyone the day after they appear on
Alpine-L. These reprints appear under the rubric "Mallorn Computing:

posted originally by Mallorn. The A*****L source headers have been largely

stripped away. There is little indication that these "Mallorn Computing:

Horticultural Lists" ever appeared on A-L. Outrageous!
