fine, nobody actually uses atomic_add_unless(), or am I
missing something?

using two locks will be slower than using a single
lock, adding a loop which counts from 0 to 100 will
eat up some cpu, so what? don't do it :)

I can happily add him to every email I reply to, but he
definitely isn't removed by my mailer (as I already stated,
it might be the mailing list which does this), fact is, the
email arrives here without him in the cc, so a reply does
not contain it either ...

best,
Herbert
