Yep. There are definitely a lot of people who have come and gone
over the years, even some who were fairly high volume, active posters.
A few of those we are definitely better off without, but for every one
of those, there are probably a dozen who I wish were still around and
posting. While I was working on the upgrades to the stats page, I had
an opportunity to read through many old archives posts, and it was a
fun trip down memory lane. :-)

Oops. For some reason I thought hers was September and you were
November. I'll blame it on too many hours standing in front of a mill
combined with too many Cherry Cokes. :-)

You stats breaker, you! :-) In that case, maybe she has posted
within the past 5 years, just under the dml@ address. But if not,
and/or she did want to post again and keep it separate for some
reason, you could always subscribe the norah.dml address to the nomail
version of the list; that way there's no additional mail, but it can
still be used to post.
