a round a day is fine by me, what about weekends?  i dont mind but if 
anyones subscribed via a work account it may be a problem.  munging replyto 
messages is great - meaning list traffic should stay as list traffic (and 
theres more chance that someone will screw up and post a tactical mistake 
(of course disinformation is always good for a laugh as well).

anyone want to setup an irc channel for this?  perhaps to negotiate things 
realtime if needs be, we could use the #void channel, as it doesnt have 
much traffic - im on there pretty much whenever im online.

oh and in case anyone needs an introduction, im duncan ive been subscribed 
to void since almost forever and im english (originally from south london) 
but moved to belgrade in serbia (seemed like a good idea at the time).  i 
do telecoms and internet stuff for a dutch company blah blah blah.
