it only happened once, and it only happened because evolt was running on a 
ms access database at the time

now that we're running on linux/oracle, the slashdot effect can probably 
no longer hit us

dan?

thanks steve

i would like to point out that 
 
  a) this list (thelist) is *not* moderated, but the admins were
     forced, on at least one occasion, to unsubscribe somebody
     for not cleaning up his act

  b) the web site (evolt.org) *is* moderated, but for suitability 
     only -- the admins typically do not approve "articles" that 
     are, say, press releases, requests for site critiques, in 
     poor taste, etc.

     A. "suitability" as defined by the admins
     B. "poor taste" as defined by the admins
     C. we are always looking for new admins


also, the admins are not gods...


... eh


 ;o)
