Back in March through May an even larger splurge happened on -wireless by an enthusiastic new contributor submitting, as asked, multitudinous smaller patches to iwn(4). At that time I just made two new folders, bugzwireless and bugznet, and periodically - like the other day - move all messages From bugzilla and To -wireless (or -net) to those folders. No sweat really, even manually; my inbox is far more manageable, and I can more readily surf through these surely welcome heroic efforts :) Not only a lurker, but a largely useless one .. cheers, Ian
