	That's certainly true.


	Or the people who see the word "mailman" somewhere in the 
messages that they're receiving, so they come and threaten legal 
action against us because we're "obviously" the one and only source 
for anything in the world that ever gets labeled "mailman", even 
though the message pretty clearly says what domain is hosting it, 
etc....

	Do you ever wonder why Barry can sometimes be hard to get hold 
of?  Or why he has set up an auto-responder that tells people he 
can't do anything to unsubscribe them from mailing lists that we 
don't run?

	Yeesh.
