Don't do that.

(Well, don't do that unless you're the CIALUG list admin and you
made some big change to the list server, and even then, the
least you could do is put in some obligatory on-topic content
to make it up to the people reading the list.  But I don't think
you're that admin.  So, don't do that.)

One of these days, one of us will set up something like this,
but something tells me that people who send test messages to
mailing lists wouldn't use something like this anyway:

ObContent:  Finally got rid of my last "production" Redhat
machine a little while back--the system partition failed to come
back cleanly after a scheduled power outage during which I shut
it down because I knew the UPS was probably blown, too.  This
version had the infamous kernel uptime bug, so I'm not sure how
long it had been up, but fsck was throwing around numbers like
722 days since last checked, 780 days since last checked, that
sort of thing for the various partitions.  Still working on the
Debian system that replaced it in situ.
