Hi, I'm the maintainer (not a green dwarf, I think) of 'blade'. I apologize that I never made any comments, when someone asked about this mailing list archive system. The system is made by Ruby scripts. Since I improved them little by little for a long time, it contains the codes of the plural versions of Ruby. Moreover, because this system is an accumulation of many functions and scripts scattering about the disks in blade, it is hard to build up a package so that people can use it easily in other environments. Of course, I know significance of Open Source. I want to make a package before they rot. This system is the best example of the worst project by the finest computer language. Please wait till I study computer engineering, reading the Dave&Andy's nice books. It is the secret that I've written, before study, Japanese "hummingbird" Ruby book [Ruby Programming Nyumon, Ohm-sha 2000, ISBN4-274-06385-2]. Regards Shin-chiro Hara
