<cough> I might take exception to that...  what problems have you noticed?

Nope, the primary is running Digital Unix 4.0E (which I have my doubts 
about, but I won't got there); the two run by MCS (mathematical and 
computing science) will most certainly be Unix of some sort, but whether 
they're Solaris, Digital Unix, or NetBSD (they have NetBSD kernel hackers 
on the staff there) I couldn't tell you.

So far today, I think I've had to manually approve five posts to the list, 
sent by list members using addresses that aren't subscribed to the list.  
As for missing messages, who knows - management there has always been too 
cheap to invest in the proper infrastructure for a robust mail system.

If the designers of X-window built cars, there would be no fewer than five
steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same
prinicples -- but you'd be able to shift gears with your car stereo.  Useful
feature, that.
