oslist will end soon -- it's time to deliberate, decide and act

[Harold Shinsato]

Hi Doug,

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment. There really should  
only have been April messages and I'm not sure why ListServ included a  
June message in there - but I checked and it was in the original  
message archive file from ListServ.

The GNU Mailbox software takes the messages in one "mbox" format file,  
and then sorts the messages into years, months, or weeks.

Sorry that it was confusing to see only one message in the June 1999  
slot - that is NOT what it will look like when we convert everything.  
The dates on the messages aren't terribly relevant. It's good that  
there were two months represented in the one file so folks can get a  
view of what the table of archives will look like - but don't worry  
about the fact that there was only one June 1999 message.

      Harold
