[ilds] OMG XVIII

Fri May 30 10:59:09 PDT 2014

Hello Sumantra,

I've added an automated response for posters to receive 
when their message is sent out -- we keep the list 
moderated to reduce spam, so any delays in posting are 
based on our time zone differences, transit, and the usual 
human exigencies!

I've sent Linda Rashidi a note as well.  I'm at the start 
of term and just back from a conference, so I'm playing 
catch-up myself.

Best to you all,
James
