Not to be picky but the current mailing list began AFTER the
news.mozilla.org moved away from the secnews physical server to it's
current location. Maybe that is what John is referring to, dunno.

I have been one these groups a LONG time, and only rather recently have
I noticed people calling it 'a list'. I can't imagine using email for
this kind of support facility, but then I can't imagine using the
Internet without suppressing display of advertising, but my wife won't
use it without the advertising... Strange.
