Sorry - I mistyped.  I meant to say Cypress.

I'm fairly sure they have to pay $$$ for the space.  I assume this
based on the fact that they charge people to attend the meetings.  But
I could be wrong...  I'll send an email to the officers of WebGuild
and ask.

PS: Has anyone else noticed that since the latest Mailman upgrade, the
list was automatically supressing messages to recipeints who were also
CC'd?  This annoys me because I have my list mail going into a special
folder, and so mailing list mail that CC'd me was sent to my regular
inbox.  Luckily there's a setting to change this, which I have now
reset.  If anyone else is having this problem, contact me privately
and I can help you fix it.
