I never meant to imply the people behind it are evil; it's the lack of
express permission, IMHO, that is. I remember findmail.com _really_ hammering
to get in, up to and including someone from there manually subscribing a
reflector that bounced to their "vault." Left a _really_ bad taste in my
mouth I haven't washed out yet...I never thought I'd be glad when the Yahoo!s
bought something.
