And let's pity the poor Mail List Summarizer :)
May I suggest that someone(s) take these two discussions and write them up
(quoting liberally, of course) and submit it to Tansel for the next issue
of SqeakNews? Said persons would get a free subscription!
I might be able to put a *little* time toward this, but a synthasis of the
"discussion thus far" would be really valuable for those of us who, for
whatever reasons, are having a wee bit of trouble keeping up :)
Cheers,
