In contrast, I'm pleased that some vestigial contact with local Linux remai=
ns, after I was arbitrarily unsubscribed from luv-main, apparently by some =
automaton, on the spurious basis of "a number of bounces".

The email address, in use for a couple of decades has received hundreds of =
thousands of list mails, and continues to reliably do so. OK, the sloppy lu=
v chop happened back in October 2024, and the crappy system might have been=
 improved since. I have no way of knowing.

While my reaction is "whatever", Brian's focus on fixing problems is constr=
uctive, and more conducive to list survival as more and more go moribund th=
ese days.

Cheers,

Erik
