My only hesitation at agreeing is that that will invite comparisons
between list positions, and I think it will be a very long time before we
could match linux@linuxnet.org (currently at 67.55 Mkeys/sec).  Now, if
such a group is formed, I'll go for it, bringing 2 (soon to be 3)
PPro/166s, and a few other Pentiums in the 90-133 range (provided I can
get them through the firewall with the UDP based client).
