ira@rempt is what I have in my addressbook for you, with the nickname
"irina."  Shall I change it?  I've never heard of this practice--having
a separate email address for list and private use.  You are sometimes
SO difficult, my dear, in your technical demands on people! <GGGGGGGG>
Do you need me to repost to irina@rempt.etc.?   Actually, I'd like to
have a separate mailbox for private mail, but I'm afraid I'd have to
get a new account with frontiernet.
