Yo! I'm here, I'm just doing my usual action of keeping my head down on
the list.  I'd hate to be an admin who, like Rush Limbaugh on the radio,
uses the media as an organ for their own personal views, eschewing other
opinions.

There is a limited membership of TMLers who receive the 45kB archive
bundles as they fill up.  This is called the "Bundle Subscription
Service".  You don't get the guaranteed timely (ha!) response of the
digest, but you get the same set of messages in mangageable,
predictably-sized chunks.  This service may be useful to you, Carl.

Isn't there a direct mail link to GEnie? Does host aesd.dnet.ge.com
gateway email to GEnie? How many people on GEnie do you think would read
the TML bundles? And remember, there are now about 200 bundles worth of
TML back-issues - 9MB.  Do we want to add this to GEnie? Yow.  Food for
thought.  The floor is open for disgustion.  :-)

I hope to post a 4-year TML anniversary summary of messages and
membership soon.  It's now a couple weeks overdue.  Anyone else notice
that the TML has gone into high gear in July? Lots of interesting and
fun material.  Keep it coming, folks.
