Lookin' good!

Comments:
<Possible follow-up(s)>   Is this really needed?  Obviously, replies to the 
original message are indented under it -- looks like the newsgroup format.  
Did not seem to be consistent (compare "hard to start, king-of-battle", and 
"Re: Re: brake sqeel!!!!, Melissa & Jim").  It also adds another line of 
text (hey, it adds up!).

Visited links don't change color in Internet Explorer (3.02)!  This 
definitely needs to be rectified.  It did work in Netscape.

How is the web page set up in keeping messages (this is hard to verbalize so 
bear with me)?  Will there be an index broken down by month or year (or workweek
for us business types :)?  Do the messages keep adding to the web page forever 
OR is there a cutoff and the messages are condensed into a single file and the 
web page is wiped clean and the next group of messages begin filling it up OR is
there a time cutoff where once a message is 'so many' days old it's removed (and
archived?)  I ask because the web page can get quite large in a short time.

I saw that there was a subscription request, are these going to be saved to the 
web page as well or routed automatically away?

Can people send messages anonymously?  I hesitate on this because it allows 
serious flaming (and possibly spamming) without accountability.

Hi everyone,

     I've begun working with some free perl scripts to begin prototyping
features for the new web site.  Have a look at the kind of thing we can do:

I plan to make much or all of the past year's T3 list available
(searchable) via the web--I've saved every message!
