Okay, boys and girls, now I'm really confused.  This is the last message I sent:
 
 amlit2-l welcome . . . . . Welcome file for AMLIT2-L
 
Amlit2-L WELCOME PW=mypassword
 
 
 PUT Welcome to Amlit2-L, the list for discussing American Literature from
1880--present.  This list is used as a discussion forum for Tomball College
literature students and anyone else interested in American Literature of
this period.
 
Enjoy!
 
 
     Your list owner is Lawrence J. Clark ([log in to unmask]).
 
*************************
 
And this is what I got back--any ideas?
 
Thanks for your patience,
 
Larry
