What you mean is "Now that I have the last word, you should shut up, as you'll never convince me anyway." I don't mean to seem too hostile with this, but that's just a fallacious way of "ending" an argument. I would rather *have the name there* than have to type one in myself. I realize that Mutt has a feature to deal with mailing lists, but I've never bothered to set it up. So when I reply to a message on this list, I hit reply, hit ctrl-U to delete the person's name, *type in* lojban@yahoogroups.com, and then proceed. I do this far more often than sending personal mails. I don't have enough time now, but if I reply further to this thread it will be in Lojban. -- la rab.spir noi sarji zo gumri
