Folks,

"For people who like this kind of thing, this is the kind of thing they will like".

I am among those who find the trivia articles interesting, but they are really
off-topic for a DRDos mailing list. Please:

1. Limit such posts to a minimum.

2. Post URLs rather than the entire text of an article (4 copies in the case of
the Atanosoff obituary!).

3. Edit the original text when replying, tather than copy the entire article which
everyone on the list has seen anyway.

4. Remember that a lot of people (anywhere outside of the USA) have to pay
for the time that they spend connected to retrieve email.

Let's make the net work for everyone.

	Kevin
