Maybe it's just me, but an impersonal 'dear' without a qualifying noun
comes across rather awkwardly to me.  I can get away with addressing my
wife that way, but I've never been brave enough to try it on a mailing list.

>> You are omnipresent in all many newsgroups?

That sounds like a curse :)  My wife thinks I'm already close to spending
too much time reading the mailing lists I do subscribe to; there is just
way too much out there to be omnipresent on the internet!

I originally responded to this with:

Heedlights?

But then thought that would probably be too subtle.

I have people at work insisting that I take a break from the computer
now so I think I feel your pain.

Hey, nobody heeds anything on the main list...  Especially advice.

With all the appropriate references to enlightenment, and all...

Yeah, somewhat.  The "in" is missing, though...
