Good luck getting me to exclude *anyone*!! We already went through this
long ago. I don't care who it is, it'll take a helluvalot of "badness"
coming through *on* the list for me to do it. (Without legal or crown
edict.) Anything in private is definately private and will *never*
involve me as the list maintainer.

Yep. As Mordraut said, he was one of the first half-dozen users. (Not
making him right, but dating his pressence.) In general, you can look
at the who list to see who was here first. I am not first cause I
tested the unsubscribe/subscribe stuff. Litch is 14th cause he moved
from bga.com to eden.com. (Unfortunately there are no time stamps
associated with it.)

The real trick is to not be drawn into it. Plain and simple.
