Can anyone recommend a good source for the GE 73 bulbs used in the front
panel switches of the RL02?
A web search turned up Atlanta Light Bulbs. They claim to have them for
$0.99/ea, minimum quantity 10. However when you try to check out, the
minimum $ order is ~$30.
I don't mind buying 10, but 30 is too many and I'm not really short on
other bulbs at this time. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

Try www.bulbman.com. They have just about everything. I once found a really exotic neon
lamp for a 1950's VTVM from them at a pretty reasonable price.
Good hunting.

There were another handful today of the "do you still have ..." posts.
People who end up in the archives during a search for something do not
seem to be aware that they are posting to a list. And some seem to be
unaware that the archive messages are not current.
I do NOT believe that they are spammers trolling for addresses, nor any
other nefarious purpose. They seem to be just hapless folk without a
clue.
Sometimes, they legitimately need help, and somebody here might be able
to.
Sometimes, they even might have something great to part with.
Therefore, we should NOT block those posts.
But would it be feasable to have the mailing list software automatically
put a "non-member submission" addition in their subject line?

If nothing else it would save a little time and confusion when trying to
connect what it is about.

are the archive sites set to "no robots" so that they are not indexed on
the search engines?
If not, then anyone typing in PDP 11 on google will see all the PDP 11
posts in the archive.
Unless Jay has converted to an ASP or CGI script that won't serve up the
contents to robots.

Actually, having the archives come up on Google is the only way to access
them at this point, and I don't want that to be taken away.
And either you are messing with the reply-to headers or the reply-to
headers are f**cked. When I want to reply to a message the default should
be to the list. I'm sick of fighting with my damn e-mailer.

If not for Google, I'd have not ever found the list. I'm sure I'm not the
only one.

How about bouncing their message back with a note indicating that they are
responding to a crusty old message that isn't even relevant anymore and
that they should pay more attention next time.

Or...maybe replacing the From: email address in the archive emails with
the list email address hasn't worked as well as folks thought it might?

The XFree86 mailing list auto-sends an email the first time someone posts
to the list (even if not a subscriber) to let the sender know that the
address they mailed is a mailing list. It seems to work very well.
