# Removed helen and jgoggan because they're not reading their mail often
# enough.  6 and 5 megs, respectively.  --friedman
# Added myself back because I stumbled upon some free time and will be
# able to help out a little bit (and at least delete old mail!)  --jgoggan
# awwww, so it's sorta a family thing now ... ;-} -mew

# You probably don't want to send here; you probably want to send to

# You should generally see one of the people on this list before adding

# These are paid technical consultants.
# I'm confused about the distinction.  What's the difference? --friedman
#
# Consultants are not categorized as ``common law employees'', which means:
#  they do not have income tax withheld;
#  they pay fica tax themselves, at the total ~16% rate;
#  they are ineligble for tax-preference benefit plans (pension, health)
#  they are self-employed, and get business preferences of other sorts.

# Myserious list.  Ask mycroft before adding anyone (including yourself).
# What does "myserious" mean?  -mew
# Maybe it's a pun on "misery".  - mycroft
# Maybe it was meant as a pun on "my serious" list as opposed to "my
# non-serious" list..  And "mycroft", as opposed to "yourcroft"? -mew
