I used to read this list on digest where all the posts are in one big mail, reading through it I often missed the header telling whose mail it was, but usually knew who was writing without even thinking about it, only stopping to wonder who is this when there was a new poster. And also, when someone wasn't posting for a while there was a sensation of something missing, a change in the tone of the list. I can't say I knew him, but I knew Stephens Straker's writing and I will miss it. My condolences to his friends and family. Teemu __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
