For all and ever a new account with a new password.[0] The Debian mailing list infrastructure doesn't have per-list passwords (it's pretty much only mailman that does that) and doesn't require that you be subscribed to post so hopefully it will be easier for you to use than most mailing lists are. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
