	I think Matthew's postings here are quite valuable, as so far they
are the only way I could have found out that my software is broken and get
it fixed.
	Perhaps this is the intended mechanism to report errors in the new C
news. The first person to find out about a problem starts a huge flame war,
thus notifying others of the problem. Seems to work, thought it's not as 
efficient as some might like.
