Please, let's not.  The amateur packet radio discussions are *clearly* related
to amateur radio, and should be a subgroup of net.ham-radio.  Don't make the
net at large suffer because some are running broken software.  Doesn't notes
have an alias feature of some kind anyway?  At least the news software 
doesn't generate those stupid Orphened response subject lines.

There, I feel much better now.
