I was thinking of setting up a mail alias/small list/procmail
thingo as 'docs at ucc', where inspired wheel member who actually just
fixed something mails to say what they just did.  the mail is saved
in /home/wheel/docs/something.ddmmyy and then sent to wheel for
discussion, etc.  The headers would ideally be changed so that
'docs' isn't cluttered with unnecessary crud of after-discussions
caused by wheelies just group replying.

whaddya think?

moderation would be a much better way to go, except who would
be moderator, and how long would moderation last before enthusiasm
dies and the docs stop altogether.

no one has ever told me about any logs ... I've only heard about a
log existing for mackerel ... once again a
new-wheel-member-loss-of-communication-thing. (a la mustang's rant)

hell I even had to reboot starfish myself and upon asking luyer
how, he didn't mention the logs.

UCC uber alles.

Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didnt, but if he
was sane
he had to fly them.  If he flew then he was crazy and didn't have to;
but if he
didn't want to he was sane and had to.  Yossarian was moved deeply and
let out a
respectful whistle at the absolute simplicity of this clause of
