Eric,
 
I understand now.  It was more for my testing - I thought I could trigger
the message by doing a 'del'.  I wanted to test the list before I started it.
 
On my other lists we have found the farewell message to be an excellent
feature.  It does bring people out, and sometimes to a surprising
degree.  When you have a list with as serious a subject as cancer, you
can get some rather moving notes from people.
 
Thanks,
 
Kevin
