I was just saying that it was a bother for me to do this just to fix a minor inconvenience that
I can address with a simple alias instead. I thought, since you already updated grep that you
would be able to do this relatively simply. Excuse me for asking.

(You know if they didn't make it such a bother perhaps more people would help out! It's not
that it's a huge bother, just a small one. But the inconvenience I'm trying to get rid of is
also relatively easy to work around. IOW the threshold of pain to subscribe to another mail list
was slightly above the threshold of pain to maintain yet another alias (where "pain" is relative
and slight))
