Subject:
xmas calls x 73 pt 1
Message:
Hello folks.
Merry xmas from your favorite non-believing/cultural Jew editor.
btw, the calls list is going to be a little intermittent for a while (as it has been for the last two months). I am going to write some scripts that will make maintaining it easier, but there are some things that have to happen first. i dont want to put a date on it b/c it will just make me anxious, and i'll probably miss the deadline anyway.
Cheers,
(In preparation for new years,)
