1. Problem with listfilter!
http://www.topica.com/lists/EUforum/read/message.html?mid=1716057219&sort=d&start=28909
"n= 20" was being changed to a space, makeing the code incorrect.
In a large chunk of code it could cause bugs.
I don't know how this could be fixed though.

OK, that's my fault.
ListFilter was correcting all occurrences of equals-three-dee and
equals-twenty, changing them back to = and blank.
I see now that equals-twenty could easily occur in
a program, so I will no longer touch that one.
Equals-three-capital-dee seems unlikely to occur naturally,
so I'll keep filtering that one. So far that seems to
be working well. It should be fixed now:
= (was equals-three-dee)
=20 (was equals-twenty)

With each message posted, all ListFilter does is scan one message,
and if it's ok, it sends one message back to Topica.
ListFilter is nicely set up now. I don't particularly
want to re-open that issue.
I don't want to send out hundreds of messages for each one posted.
I'm not sure if my ISP would even allow that
(dozens of times per day), and I don't want the
responsibility to keep the messages flowing
and handle the hundreds of "bounce" messages per day flowing back.
I also don't want to risk my domain being put onto a SPAM blacklist.
I also don't want hundreds of worms and viruses sent to
my domain whenever there's an outbreak of those things.
I also know that my ISP, though perhaps more reliable than Topica,
is not perfect either. If I did install list server software,
or if I built my own, guess who would have to trouble-shoot it
each time when it crashes mysteriously at 2am?
