I did not intend to imply that is was. I appologize, if my attempt to
share the humor of the situation offended you. I can understand how you,
as the author of the LISTSERVer code, might not find any of it humorous.

LISTSERV@PSUVM did *not* accept my FOR <user> SIGNOFF * ( NETWIDE. It
only passed it on to 187 other LISTSERVers, even though it did *not* think
I was the NAD for SUNRISE.

If LISTSERV@PSUVM insists that I am not the NAD for SUNRISE, why should
it pass on my request? Shouldn't just abort the original it?

Aha! Thanks. I'll remember that.
