Of posts I recall seeing on the list just over the last couple of years,
minimally Joe Whitehurst uses it, as do Richard DeVenezia, Randy Herbison,
Deborah Testa, Satish Kottamasu, Andrianarivo Ramamonjy, Ken Barz, Jeff
Voeller, Rob Workman, Dave Scocca, Paul Walker, Andrew Clapson, you, I and
probably many more.
