Yes, I should have pre-empted that one. But glad it gave someone a laugh.

It's not related. My cctalk filter runs before the UTF-8 trash filter,
and I check the trashbin regularly.

Here's one check. See attached screen-cap of cctalk emails. Usually many per
day, but only one per day on the 15th & 16th Nov, none at all on the 17th.
Did the list actually go silent then? It's possible by random ebb and flow,
or maybe everyone was in shock over the awful Paradise fire death toll.
Which may be over 1000, unless a lot of people listed as missing do turn up.
