I think this list has finally, after slightly more than 29 years, run its course, and unless I hear some cogent objections, I propose to turn it off on 30/6/2026.

I know it's been useful to some of you over the years, because you've been kind enough to tell me so. I will try to keep the archives up on a read-only basis somewhere; I suspect much of it is now of academic interest only, but deep in my grubby little soul I remain of an academic bent, so that's reason enough for me to try.

Thanks to all of you for making the list worthwhile. Special thanks to NetApp for tolerating its existence right from the early days, and a couple of times intervening on my behalf to ensure deliverability inside NetApp.
