Dear mnet-devel:

This is actually to baka specifically, and its quite personal, but it 
might be useful for the wider mnet devel community to know about it.  
Also, baka cannot receive SMTP traffic.  ;-)

Future messages in this series will be have more technical content, as 
well as more interpersonal agony content.
