Re: Is ephpod still necessary?

It helps when you read the emails you get instead of being ignorantly irate.  
From the end of each and every single message you get from this list:

>ephPod Mailing List 
>FAQ and HomePage http://www.ephpod.com 
>mailto:ephpod-on@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to susbcribe 
>mailto:ephpod-off@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to unsusbcribe 
>mailto:ephpod@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the mailing-list itself 

Do you think you can manage that or would you like some help?

Have a good one,
Christian
