Someone asked:
>>>Will there be email service to conference attendees?

-Do NOT, repeat NOT, auto-forward your mail there!  If we see a pile of
-messages coming out for you, especially if they're routine garbage like
-network status reports, we reserve the right to dump them all in the
-bit bucket and/or tell the printer software to do the same with all
-future mail to you.

And I'll add that since the messages are getting printed do not expect
them to be private.  They are easily accessible to everyone and the
terminal room staff member has to look at them at least long enough
to get the To: name off.
