Often great things come from the smallest ideas.

Like when we socialize after a presentation at a LUG meeting.

Great. As for the camera I really didn't need to know that :(

Okay. As long a some solution is done. I hope to see it soon :)

Let me restate that. Right on the join page it first contains info on the
mailing list. Then below that it has the forms to join.

nflug at nflug.org is a public list. I even sent a email from another address
where I'm not subscribed on the list. The mail still got posted. It was
the blank message I sent. You responded by "James I knew you where a man
of few words....".

So everyone would get the mail. Of course I'm assuming that we all don't
died at the same time.

Yes.

I was list administrator at edgenet which was majordomo based.
