I do have that distinction.  ;->

please trip recipients appropriately.)

Man, that status mail I wrote late last night was only barely coherent.  

(I hope people could figure out that 'Near and I and Mike Durkin' was

supposed to be 'Near _as_ I and Mike Durkin', for example.)  What I 

didn't mention was that I'd had almost no sleep the night before the 

outage for unrelated causes, so it's a wonder I was able to function

let alone do network diagnosis.  By the time I got to 2am and sent

that mail, I was really running on fumes.

For a fun yet outré experience, I recommend trying to figure out how to

import into friggin' Gmail a roster of 287 Mailman mailing list 

subscribers exported to ASCII by '/var/lib/mailman/bin/list_members 

-f sf-lug > /tmp/sf-lug', so that you can send subscribers a status 

mail without needing to copy/past 287 times into the Bcc field.  It

can be done, but _man_ how pathetically buggy Auntie Goog's code is.

And all because of the furshlugginer WebUI, which I could have 

done without in the first place.

'Easier user interface' my great aunt.
