I think that this gives me a fairly clear mandate to go ahead; I'm not
going to apply the overmajority rules that apply to group creation.

As I said during the discussion period, I've been convinced that
Subject line tags are more technically feasible than Keywords at the
moment (shame on you, newsreader authors).

I'll therefore arrange for the monitoring program to expect Subject
lines of the form
  Subject: [keyword] rest of subject
(this is used in several other groups).

I'd like your input on the list of Keywords the daemon would *not*
send mail about.  I'll shortly be posting in news.groups a list of
possible keywords to stimulate discussion; any suggestions here or by
email would be welcome.

Note that discussion of this probably belongs in news.groups;
comp.os.linux.misc is crowded enough already.
