[sword-devel] NET bible and Sword .........

[Chris Little]

Unfortunately, we're talking about the sword-support list. Any email to 
any of the support email addresses gets forwarded to this list, where 
volunteers hopefully provide answers. Most mail comes from users needing 
help, who shouldn't even need to know that a mailing list is involved.

This list, sword-devel, only permits subscribers to post, but it doesn't 
have any spam problems.
