[e-lang] Fwd: [cap-talk] EQ, cross post to e-lang?

[Mark Miller]

Anyone on e-lang but not cap-talk may be interested to have a look
over there. There are many fascinating and related threads going on,
some of which are quite language related.

The particular thread that Jed and Shap refer to below -- the EQ
discussion -- starts with the message at
http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/cap-talk/2006-December/006139.html

I am cross-posting this *one* message so that both lists will know
this introduction has occurred. Please do not respond directly to it.

PLEASE do not do this. Experience shows that this will merely bifurcate
the discussion -- the list memberships are not the same, and the mailing
list manager will attempt to filter multiple-list posts as an anti-spam
measure. Which list will receive the messages is hard to determine, and
users hitting "reply" will only reply to one list because we clobber the
Reply-To: header with a single list name.

A better thing to do is to post a URL to the current thread over on the
e-lang list.
