    I just posted a short note about the double stars...got an almost immediate reply from davey@No-Spam (address hidden) from his out-of-office autoreply. This will happen to anybody who posts to TAC from this guy from now until he gets back to work, so be forewarned (the autoreply comes to the poster, not to the list).

    If you're going to set up your out-of-office autoreply system, make sure you have a rule EXCLUDING all of the mailing lists you're on, which is very easy to do. People on those lists will thank you for being considerate when you return, rather than muttering your name and some expletives under their breath every time they post and get an auto-reply from you :)

    p.s. now I'll go delete the auto-reply that this message will generate...
