Yeah. Again, I apologize for having ignored the role-attributes thread
for a long time ... but it's not a topic I have any great interest in
personally, and frankly the -hackers traffic volume has gotten to the
point where I *can't* follow every thread. I think most of us are in
that boat actually. Not sure if there's anything to be done about it.
(It would help some if more people paid attention to not wasting their
readers' time, eg by trimming quotes rather than reposting the entirety
of some thread in order to add a paragraph here and there. But I fear
email etiquette is getting to be a lost art.)
