 Can people please refrain from posting there not very funny jokes to this list!  There are enough messages everyday without them.  and if you find it necessary to waste taxpayers money (epa.com) then please don't inform the world about it.

I've figured out the "number of lines posted" problem. I'm
writing a Perl program. Every time Bill Viergever posts, the
program will copy his post back to the list, and add the line
"Ha-ha! Pretty Funny, Bill!" at the bottom, with some hard returns.
Thus I will always have more lines posted than he will. And, to
handle the "number of unquoted lines" problem, I will use the "/*"
characters at the start of the line, instead of the ">" so that
Joe's parsing program will mistakenly count them as unquoted lines.
[I'm just kidding, Bill! :-]

Ditto. It was nice to finally meet some of the people behind the
messages.
