Yes, construct a new References: is what I meant...I think. :) Sorry that my description was muddled. I am a little unclear about what I am doing to get these posts threaded properly. It involves lots of editing headers manually and it breaks PGP signed messages and it is, in all respects, sub-optimal. > > I am wondering if a post > > to the gateway could be automated to go out every week or two just to > > clarify this to the Usenet denizens (who may have legitimate questions > > for the list)? > > I think that would be useful.

Marco d'Itri runs the bofh.it gateway (http://www.bofh.it/) for linux.debian.user. I would like to contact him about this as you suggest. I feel it would be courteous (or even essential) that I sign my mails if I want a private correspondence with a stranger who is a dd, about a debian-related matter. I will try to get a PGP key working (and signed) and then contact Marco. It may take a little time but I'll get to it.
