I was surprised to see a whole bunch of followups to this question all
saying (except the wrong ones of course) essentially "don't run stty
from .cshrc for non-interactive shells".

My question is: why did so many wizards followup this easy question
in comp.unix.wizards instead of sending mail to the original poster,
and suggesting that he summarize the answer to the group?

Are we not wizards?
