I've finally collected all the ForthNet articles that were posted while
I was on vacation.  Because of the volume of the articles, I'll be
releasing them in small chunks over the next couple of days.

You've all probably seen Lee Brotzman's message by now.  It is not now, nor
was it ever either Gary Smith's or my intent to inundate comp.lang.forth
with garbage.  It is not feasible to automatically forward every ForthNet
message into here.  I have been personally examining each message to try to
decide if it is appropriate to forward.  If I've been letting too much chaff
in, let me know.  One thing that I will not do is edit the contents of a
message.  Either it makes it whole or not at all.  (There are both personal
philosophical and technical reasons for this).  Sometimes this means that
a posting with forth info in it will also contain some fluff.  I try to
forward only postings that have some forth related content.  I may occasionally slip up (it's rumored that I'm only human, but... ;-)
As I am doing this as a service to the forth community, I'm very open to
suggestions as to how to help ForthNet grow as painlessly as possible, but 	I also realize that no growth of any significance will ever be totally painless.
