[TheForge] E-MAIL LIST RULES (ie:Ben Barrett)

[Ben Barrett]

(would much prefer off-list, readership please forgive the OT!)
Dave, I manage a few lists with similar legacy limitations, so I feel
for your request, but come on, please email me directly
instead of flogging.
I received a notice from the list "bot" right after mis-sedding that,
and actually cancelled my own mis-posting, to save your precious 48k,
which was spawned due to *digest* response, granted.  No attachments,
no changing subject.
We deal wih it:  I do a pile of volunteer list management every day,
so please accept my apology for adding to your pile.

Thanks,

Ben

PS - If you'd emailed me off-list, I'd be happy to take up more
personal bandwidth to explain that my grandfather died 2 days ago and
I'm hours away from flying on short notice, so please give me (and
this response) a break :)
