Not particularly, just some thoughts that I didn't want to post to the
newsgroup.  I might post something later if we have a useful e-mail
discussion -- or you can feel free to do so.

I see you mentioned that about a year ago; I completely forgot.  I'll
re-send.  (I understand not wanting to have a valid address in your
article headers, but you might consider using a signature that reminds
people to tweak the address -- or just use a valid e-mail address.  Your
choice, of course, but if you're going to use an invalid address I
suggest making it obviously invalid.  I don't get a bounce when I send
an e-mail to the address in your Usenet headers.)

It doesn't.
