   Dale Bourbaki proposes a project to compact Emacs's memory and closes:

   >A perfect project for some hacker to affirm his manhood.

This is a mailing list (and newsgroups) devoted to discussing the
technical aspects of GNU Emacs.  I've appended it's charter below.

worley made a sexist choice of language.  gz and now huxtable have
corrected him.  That's more than enough discussion of this issue for a
technical mailing list.

BTW, it's courteous behaviour when reading a mailing list (or
newsgroup) to read all the submission in the queue, before answering
any of them.  Note that huxtable may well had done this, gz's reply
might not had reach kuhub.cc.ukans.edu yet.

* info-gnu-emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to info-gnu-emacs
** USENET newsgroup: gnu.emacs	(and one-way into comp.emacs)
** submittal address: info-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu

This list covers general questions and announcements about GNU Emacs.
Since it is a very large list, send it only those items that are
seriously important to many people.  It is also gated one way to
USENET's newsgroup comp.emacs (once known as net.emacs).  Do not report
GNU Emacs bugs to comp.emacs, instead mail them to
bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu.  Users at non-USENET sites may receive
all articles from comp.emacs by making their request to:
unix-emacs-request@bbn.com

* bug-gnu-emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to bug-gnu-emacs
** USENET newsgroup: gnu.emacs.bug
** Gnu Emacs bug reports to: bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu

This list distributes bug reports, fixes for bugs, and suggestions for
improvements in GNU Emacs to the active maintainers of GNU Emacs.  It is
the place to report GNU Emacs bugs by all users of GNU Emacs.

Subscribers to bug-gnu-emacs automatically receive all info-gnu-emacs
messages.
