(Of course, someone else responded to the version that still had "brin" in the subject line, despite the request not to do so.) The post with "brin" in the subject line that Jean-Louis was responding to was posted by The Fool. It just happened to mention JDG in the part that Jean-Louis quoted. Right now, Dr. Brin is on "nomail", so he's not getting the posts. But we really need to watch the subject lines. All of us, myself among the "especially" crowd. Let's practice by taking it out of ALL subject lines until the election. If you're replying to something that had "brin" in the subject line, take it out before you hit send. Thanks!
Dumb question: Is there some special reason DB is busy between now and election day? Like, is he running for office or something and some of us are unaware of the fact?
