Dear Marc...

I've seen many listServ's mangle line breaks when messages are quoted
about 3 or 4 times.

Also, the "automatic server restart device" is built into Windows NT: When
a crash occurs, there is a Preference where the OS automatically reboots.
The equivalent of a Mac cherry bomb is the "BSOD" (Blue Screen Of Death) --
When this occurs after a few seconds the machine automatically restarts. I
just wish the MacOS could do this!

And no, I was not joking about temporarily transferring the WinMac
listServ to a PowerBook. Or, you can move the Mac to another building that
will have power; and notify the campus sysop to use his SNMP console to
reassign the IP routing to the new location.

Cheers!
Dan
