He made that remark in private email, which I echoed to this list.  He
did not post that to the list; I did, but it was still his remark.  It
does not belong here, and I appologize for putting it here.  Jan did
not put that remark on this list.  Please do not assume that he did.

I posted this exchange between Jan and myself when I inferred from his
remarks that eli.wariat.org was about to experience a heavy email
load.  Since this is the machine that hosts the higher-fire archives,
I expected that during the threatened assult the lag might get rather
bad, so I wanted the other list members to understand what was
happening.  So far, I have experienced no such attack, and I hope I do
not experience one.  In fact, I hope this whole thing settles down
back to normal.

Prairienet is not running Majordomo, it is running listserv.  My
machine had a Majordomo list server on it.

    >> Cheers,

    Andy> You too.  ;)
