While I can see Bret's concern and dislike of all the gmail invites, I
can also see people who want to share what at one stage was a rare
item with their community. I raise my hand as one on the guilty ones,
but in my defence, your honour, I wish to state that I followed
existing threads and asked for replies off list, as well as using the
sig message method below.

Filter gmail if you must, but I hope it will only be on the subject
and not the recipient.

 Nathan D.
