Someone once posted to the list (it was before the middle of My last, 
when I wiped my home/mail directory using the well-known nose trick) 
that he'd produced a patch to allow comments in the middle of ACLs and 
was anyone interested? No-one was, so he went away again.

Personally I put all my comments before the start of each ACL, sometime 
2 or 3 lines.

Do not CC me or your mail will probably be rejected.
I don't like this, either. Blame it on Swen and a slow
Internet connection.
