        !             6: If you think something is a bug in Emacs, it might be one; or, it
        !             7: might be a misunderstanding or even a feature.  Before beginning to

        !            12: Do not expect an answer for a bug report, except sometimes in the form
        !            13: of a fix for the bug in the next release.  Reporting a bug is done to
        !            14: get the bug fixed for everyone.  Likewise, we maintainers fix bugs in
        !            15: order to help the entire community.  We see no such duty to aid

        !            17: messages, and have no time to do this since we are busy doing things
        !            18: for the entire community.  If you want help for yourself in particular,
        !            19: you may have to hire someone.  You might find one by looking in the
        !            20: the service list (file SERVICE in this directory).
        !            21: 
        !            22: Anything addressed to the implementers and maintainers of GNU Emacs

        !            28: This list forwards onto the newsgroup net.emacs.  Since it is
        !            29: a very large list, don't send it anything that is not seriously
        !            30: important to many people.
        !            31: 
        !            32: Most of the time, when you reply to a message sent to info-gnu-emacs,
        !            33: the reply should not go to info-gnu-emacs.  But most mailer reading

        !            35: the reply, by default.  Make a point of deleting info-gnu-emacs from the
        !            36: list when it does not belong.
        !            37:
