..one solution to a heavy mailing list... :-)

Actually, we might try inviting such prosecution -- e.g., with each of us
posting source code for some algorithm to the list.  This is so clearly
publication (ala newsletters on paper) that the case would never hold but
it wouldn't hurt to have a court rule.
