Should be a Cc: - and usually the sender doesn't mind receiving a copy
(he might be unsubscribed to the list), plus you can remove him manually
from the destinations, if you know for sure he's subscribed.

Just do it - you seem to know better about it than I, anyway.
If you don't have write access to the CVS yet, just fill in the
membership form and ask an account to root@bespin.org.

The problem being here that we lack coherent documentation outside of
the FAQ, that the FAQ could point to. In absence of it, a two-sized FAQ
might do. If linuxdoc-sgml can't handle it, we might migrate to HeVeA
or to TeX2page.

Not unless you teach it too.
Begin simple, elaborate as you go, refactor the simple thing afterwards.
Be ready to see your code refactored, knowing that since the code AND
the execution environment in which it was successfully run are versioned,
so that you will be able to run your old code despite incompatible new 
refactorings, evolutions, modifications.

I mean "string" as in source code that you can evaluate incrementally,
input from primitive but standard means of communication such as
text file editors, line editors, raw terminal input, etc.

Is eating the flesh around one's nails to be considered as anthropophagy,
and does it qualify one for eternal damnation to burn in hell?
