Apparently I didn't make the following things sufficiently clear in my
earlier post:

    1.  I am NOT the maintainer of the info-gnu-fortran@gnu.ai.mit.edu
        mailing list.  Sending me mail asking to be put on the list will
        result only in my sending you mail suggesting you make the
        request to

            info-gnu-fortran-request@gnu.ai.mit.edu

        as I specified in my earlier post.  I guess it was natural to
        assume sending email to me was the same as sending it to the
        above address.  It isn't -- we're not the same person.

    2.  The people on the info-gnu-fortran@gnu.ai.mit.edu list do NOT
        want to get requests to be added to the list.  Instead of sending
        email to the list asking to be a tester, put on the list, or
        whatever, send it to the address shown above.

    3.  When alpha testing looms on the horizon, I will send mail to the
        list asking who wants to be an alpha tester (assuming this is
        consistent with FSF policy etc).  I will NOT be keeping track of
        who has asked to be alpha/beta testers, because that would be a
        waste of my time (since by the time I needed testers, the status
        of many people willing to test may well have changed).  So while
        I might be interested to know that you've sent mail to
        info-gnu-fortran-request@gnu.ai.mit.edu asking to be put on the
        list because you want to be a tester (you can cc: me on the mail,
        for example), realize that I won't be keeping close track of this.

    4.  It appears that whenever someone gets added to the info-gnu-fortran
        list, I get automatic notification via email anyway, as I guess
        the "moderator" (probably not the right term) of the list.  So you
        don't even need to cc: me on simple requests regarding the list --
        I'll get copies of them at some point.

It's not like I've gotten a flood of email indicating these points were
misunderstood -- just a small handful.  But since I posted only around 16
hours ago, I'd like to make sure there isn't a flood over the next few days
due to my post not being clear.
