Thanks, we try :)  (Ever|An)ybody please send suggestions of more lists
to add and/or features you'd like (or features you hate!).  It's a
spare-time-only thing, so bugfixes and easy stuff will probably happen
much more quickly than major things, but I appreciate all feedback even
if I don't act on it (er, or even respond...) terribly quickly.

Heh, a common disease.  Hey, with all the dot-coms failing, we should
all have more spare time again!  What's up with that?  ;)

Cool, I probably will (but not for a bit, as I'm about to be on the road
for nearly three weeks straight, with spotty connectivity && time...).

Thanks :)

Oh.  One question for folks: how much value/interest would there be in
having the channel logs archived via MARC (i.e. searchable, etc)?  AFAIK
they're picked up by google now, so that may not be too interesting.
If I were really really cool I could see archives that are indexed by
nick (and variants like nick- and nick_, etc?) being doable, and useful.
But I'm not that cool, so it probably won't happen; rather it'd probably
just be daily "mails" of the channel logs to the "list" that get
archived and indexed as usual.  Given that, the answer is probably "not
much interest".  But feel free to contradict me :)

Thanks,
