Well, I can't release the identity of the list owner (confidentiality
agreements and all that!), but it's a dedicated server run by
HostMySite.com.  As of today, the server has about 550,000 recipients
spread across four lists.  I'll be increasing the spread to probably
100-200 lists today.

Delaware - the great state of perfect time keeping.
Me - I love NTP, it is awesome
Univ of Delaware - they don't use NTP and the clocks are always
wrong...

Poor Dr. Mills!

have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine
man in the bonds of Hell."
