Just now getting this, trying to deal with 3-4 thousand unread messages,
usually by deleting anything remotely non OT. 

LDAP Howto <--delete
Gnome-vfs2-obexftp and Nokia N72 <--delete
Re: How can i make a wireless connection in the command line? <--delete
Re: F7: SELinux feature or bug? <--BANG!
Re: OT: Or is it? <-- hrmmm... interesting, spared. <wave benediction> 

So, back to the pigeons... my stinkin' 56k modem that will only connect
at 28.8 is just killing me. I need a really big friggin' coop of
pidgeons with eight chutes and electronically triggered doors. I could
release 8 pigeons at a time, like parallel signaling, and do ssh and
cipe tunneling as well. Probably faster than this modem. Just a thought.
