Aldo,
AOL runs one of the largest LISTSERV sites in the world, with a total of
461,503 subscribers, of which I imagine many are from AOL. That's 270
times more subscribers than FISH-ECOLOGY has. What makes you think that
they aren't aware of the problem or that they aren't working on it? Did
AOL ever say that they weren't going to work on this? If not, and if you
haven't asked them, how do you know they aren't? You've been flamed
because you've been shooting first and asking questions later, not
because bounces aren't a problem.
Eric
