As far as I can tell, you are still subscribed. The last message from that list
was sent on February 14 (or was it 16?). I must admit that I forgot to notify
the list after I had passed my text to you.

That would be Natalia Laurila: nata @ laurila . net

Arthaey, I think? Perhaps the two of you could better switch places, then?
Otherwise this unhappy relay never meets its conclusion.

Yay!!! It has been a much too long time since the item came up for the last
time... at least two days!

Hehe. Somehow I have always assumed you were male, although I have never seen
it officially confirmed, now that I think of it. I don't think that has
anything to do with the mechanism that every list member who uses a pseudonym
or initials only is male by default. It's rather you style or writing, I guess.
Nevertheless, I'm still curious what the letters H.S. stand for.

And what about those who use the epicene forms, huh?
Well, we know at least one thing for sure: the list's official language, Dutch,
won't be of much help here. Had it been Polish or Russian, and everybody wrote
in the past tense, it would have been a completely different story...
