I suspect that Ben Nagy would be edited out of firewall-wizards ;)
Not a good thing. Which is why we need to have multiple editors.

Heh. So, does anyone have archives of all the emails sent to this list
(I am not sure that the honor archives are complete)?

If you do, please put it up for those who are interested in editing the
content. Should be fun for a few days worth of reading. Gzipped/Bzipped
text please (MH, maildir and mbox understood).

I know I would like to do this, if only for the knowledge gained.
And please edit the subject in any replies :).
