Upon the date 12:13 PM 2/6/00 -0800, Zane H. Healy said something like:

>> The list still here? I have a hard time believing zero posts since last
>> night.

And then Christian Fandt graciously replied, astutely noting that:

> Well, everybody was plumb wore out from all the list operation discussions
:-)

Boy, I'll say. I skim through the digest keying on the text 'Subject:'. I
wore
out one mouse trying to get through the likes of:

: Subject: Re: [ClassicCMP] Re: ClassicCMP Re: [ClassicCmp] Tag requested in
Subject: line
: >> I am aware of no mail filters which only allow filtering on Subject:.

> Seems to work very well now!

May even be good enough to discuss the collection, restoration, and sharing
of knowledge about classic computers. I have been on this list since
mid-97, and Zane & Chris probably just as long, if not longer. We all
know that we don't need '[ClassicCMP]' in the subject line since we have
done without for this long. I for one will not debate it beyond this
one posting, because it being or not being there makes no difference to
me.

I might suggest that if there are those wanting to debate it further and
if Jay is willing, then set up another list classicmp-admin and discuss
away.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I took the trash from my wife's shop out
back to the dumpster. I noticed a mouse (two-button, not four-legged)
in the dumpster. That led to a keyboard and on to a 386 PC. I know,
I know, whoopee! Hey another spare mouse, keyboard, floppy drive never
hurts. And there is a small chance that I will soon be hauling home
a stack of DECstation 5000's and associated goodies.

And one last soapbox point. I do not recall any postings yet, thanking
Jay for all the efforts with regards to the list. Given all the flak,
I would probably have used the ON/OFF switch by now. Why don't we
flood this list one last time with some words of appreciation, and then
you can tell all of us about your latest finds, etc.
