Not closing your lists to subscriber-only posting is like coming home Friday
night, smelling gas from a leak, and deciding to wait to call the plumber
until Monday so you don't have to pay weekend rates. You're betting it won't
get worse, it's sure not going to get better on its own, and it's really
likely to blow up sooner or later, and the only guarantee you have is that
when it DOES blow up, you'll be on deadline, busy, or on vacation.

Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page. Lucky you.
It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of
Karma to burn off.
