The only way would be to post really outrageous things there from time to
time, like :

"Microsoft's POV-Ray buyout: according to the software giant, the raytracer
will be made closed source and tightly integrated in Longhorn. All
non-Windows versions will be discontinued. Windows users will be amazed by
the long-expected Clippy primitive. Security patches to follow next. "

or

"POV-Ray will be used exclusively to render Finding Nemo 2, according to
Pixar insiders. This long-expected sequel will be released in 2072."

or

"NASA's Mars images were all faked with POV-Ray and we have the code,
nutcases claim on www.povrayconspiracies.com"

My humblest apologies.  I thought I was subscribed to that group, but I was 
mistaken.  The post has more information than I could have hoped for.  

Thank you to the whole team

"SCO: the same lines of code has been found in POV-Ray for Linux and POV-Ray
for Windows. Intrigued David Buck spend whole night restoring his backups:

Thanks.  Even if it does not make it in, I am sure that I will still be 
delighted with 3.6.  The status report had many good things, that I figured 
were still quite a few years out.

Objection!

I read it.

Well, when I say 'read it', I read the few and infrequent messages 
posted there.  I caught the recent post, but since I'm not doing much 
(if any) POV ATM, it didn't really affect me, and so I carried on as 
normal, quite happy to let the POV team get on with what they do.

:P

:)

Jamie.

No, it is still essentially a bug fix release. The operational differences
are minor at best and feature development beyond what is already included
should be considered locked.
