I don't own my own domain and can't create email addresses at will. And no, I already rely on too many domains (freebsd.org, hwcn.org, and my own local ISP) being available to get my mail -- adding another such as hotmail.com will make my mail even more unreliable.

And this is one of them: people who have to (repeately) ask "Please Cc: me your answer." With proper -list policy such requests are not necessary. [And yes, majordomo removed it...it was only a temporary snafu on jmb's part, though...otoh, it was well-timed] -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
