True, and I have apologized once already.

Where was I? If I remember correctly, I was still running "Msg"
(David Taylor's predecessor to Elm) on some machines, and trying
to debug 1.3 version of Elm. Elm had just gone from a mailing list
to a regular newsgroup. (I am fuzzy on the dates, but I think
that versions 1.5, 1.7, and 2.0 all came out after that. I don't
recall seeing 1.4 or 1.6).

There WERE a couple of people who volunteered to moderate the group
and handle bugs (including someone from Texas Instruments here
in Dallas). But, I don't think anyone ever said, "Here, you do it.".

Does anyone out there claim to be handling Elm bug reports 
and associated releases?
