Ah, thanks for the explanation. Sorry, it just seemed rather similar.

Just an off-topic question/observation: do they have a way to post via
forum? I'm curious why so many programming forums love mailing lists,
and how they maintain such large audiences that way when it seems to
require a decidated email address for each one (well, not all the time,
but often enough). I have an idea. Have someone start an email service
that works more like a forum site. Basically, it would display it all
like a set of forums. You probably wouldn't want to use it as much for
personal email, as that would create a million different forums. Anyway,
just a random thought.

Ah, sorry about that. That is good to keep in mind, for sure.

It's all right. :) Thanks for clarifying that for me, as it gives me a
high opinion of you that you can say that after I went off on who knows
what for so long, even if I tried to be objective. Sorry. I shouldn't
have done that.
