[vsnet-chat 3433] Re new maillists

[Jan Hers <janhers@pixie.co.za>]

Congratulations to Arne, who has expressed my own feelings exactly!  I am
almost beginning to get frightened to enter in the morning  to find another
50  or so messages waiting for me. Do I really want to read all that?  Maybe
yes, maybe no, but  it is becoming a full time job simply trying to decide
what should be read now, and what must be deleted today, tomorrow, or
whenever. In the meantime I just want to say: Thank you for your remarks,
you've made my day!
