That's because I didn't use this list.  I had another criteria which,
if you are looking in the email archives, you should be able to see
mentioned a few times.  I used the 'base' category from debian.  Hopefully
we haven't drifted from that too much.

I don't know why 'which' is in the 'base' category since I can't find it
in debian.  That is probably a mistake.

I can't find 'more' in debian, either but if 'less' isn't in base, then
obviously 'more' shouldn't be either.
