A few comments, first about the FML.  Chris, you've done a great job with
it, and I'll be sorry to see you go.  I hope that you will continue to read
it, and to contribute occasionally.

Part of what makes the FML what it is is that it isn't run in the normal
listsrv fashion.  I like having a moderator to filter out the garbage for
us.  Does listsrv have a way to do this?  One advantage that I can see for
using listsrv is that as soon as a message is received, it can be sent to
everyone who does not get the list in digest mode.  I guess that there is
good and bad about both ways.

I made a nice ferret ball, and all I had to do was drink 5.5 gallons of
Coors.  A Coors party ball, cleaned out with the top cut off makes a great
ferret ball.  The only problem is that it isn't clear.  My ferrets enjoy
playing in theirs.
