Lately several people have been posting messages to this mailing-list
with only a URL in them, and nothing else (no meaningful subject line or text).
Just a friendly reminder: not everyone uses a web-integrated mail reader.
When I see a message like that: a bare URL, and no meaningful subject or
explanation contained in the letter, I just skip this message. I don't
bother to open a Netscape window to see if *maybe* it is interesting when
I don't know what it is about.

You'll draw much more attention if you post messages with short descriptions,
like
   "The Martians are coming! see http://lgm.mil.mars.sol.et/earth-invasion"
or
   "Linus Trovalds was just named vice-president of Microsoft, see
    http://when.pigs.fly/".

Thanks,
	Nadav.
