It could well be that perhaps I'm not paying adequate attention, but
I seem to be missing several beginning messages to threads, most noticeably
the ones on privies and labelling, although there have been others as well.
        I only bring this up because a couple of other people have noted that
they missed the beginning of the privy thread.  Have other subscribers been
having the same problem or am I hallucinating due to acetone and nail polish
fumes?
