Hello,

Everytime I want to reply a message from this list, I've to enter
manually the list address (in the "To" field) because using the "Reply"
button gives me a "Compose" window with the sender e-mail in the "To"
field, instead of the list e-mail.

Would it be possible to add a "Reply-To: dcml at nafsk.se" header to all
messages in order to solve this?

In Greek, ducks say "pa-pa-pa" (i.e., quack-quack-quack), from which the
medieval/modern Greek word for duck, "papia", is derived. As for ancient
Greek, the word for duck was "nissa", but I sincerely doubt whether this was
because ancient Greek ducks used to say "ni", an utterance which is reserved
exclusively for a specific kind of knight...

In Disney comics, the ducks' exclamation of "wack!" is transcribed as "ouak!".

Actually, "brekekex koax koax"
(http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0031;query=card%3D%238;layout=;loc=185)
which may have been made up by Aristophanes, as it still sounds hilarious to
my Greek ears, and the statistics at the above site would seem to indicate
that both words only appear in Aristophanes' "Frogs".

Look at the etymology of "papia" e.g., in
http://www.komvos.edu.gr/dictonlineplsql/simple_search.display_full_lemma?the_lemma_id=31989&target_dict=1
where "pa-pa-pa" is mentioned.

Try to find a button that says "reply to all". Most mail programs should
have such a button somewhere.

Hi!

I received some messages from people who couldn't view my tree because of
their version of acrobat reader...

I updated my tree (I added a few characters but above all I tried to make it
simpler and more understandable) :

Taliaferro fans might enjoy the recent inclusion of Geltrud (Danish
translation), the goosey relative of Daisy from

and for those who still can view it, I put a jpg version online :

The list of my missing information is still available here:

enjoy!!!

I got only one copy of your mail, even though you sent it to me *and* to
dcml.

Hm, weird...

I see no problem in having to do this ("Reply to all"). I'll also start
adding Reply-To: dcml at nafsk.se in my messages to DCML, but I think
setting the "Reply-To" header in the e-mailing list program would help
avoiding some issues (e.g. messages going directly to personal e-mails
that should have been addressed to DCML).

I don't see that much difference between a newsgroup and a mailing list
except for the presentation of messages. It is nothing like "real-time"
as Dani?l was asking for.

Alternatively, why not use the already existing IRC facility provided by
irc.inducks.org

It has existed for quite a few years now although not very populated at
the moment. Here you have privacy/publicy as you wish, you can come and
go, read logs, submit messages for later sending and suchlike. And most
important, if the person you are adressing is online while you are,
you'll get an immediate (less than a second) answer, depending on how
fast he or she can type on the keyboard (and under the assumption that
the other part isn't asleep behind the screen :-)

IRC is the original chat, introduced back in the 70s I think. Extremely
simple for the beginner and still provides advanced functionality for
the more experienced user. As Gilles mentioned, chatting is in general
for kids (especially Messenger), while I find IRC more "adult like". In
fact IRC is also technically very different from Messenger since by
default you write to a forum (the channel/chatroom). Also all kinds of
moderations are possible by the maintainers.

The IRC server is maintained by yours truly with help from Thomas (COA
co-administrator) on the inducks.org server in Ballerup, DK and the
uptime is remarkably high.

See

http://irc.inducks.org/

for details.

Best,
S?ren
