Forgive me if this was part of the recent thread about "quiet" owners... I
didn't think I'd need to use that feature, but now it turns out that I do.
 
I have a list of users of netspace called (oddly enough) netspace-users.
There is also a list of administrators, netspace-admin.  I want the folks
on netspace-admin to be able to issue commands on netspace-users, but I
don't want them to receive notification for commands that they didn't issue
(so if someone issues an ADD, not everyone on netspace-admin sees it).
 
The way I've done this is with
 
*  Owner= [log in to unmask], quiet: (NETSPACE-ADMIN)
 
So far, so good.  Except that *I* want to see all the list transactions,
regardless of who issues them, because I'm the "primary" owner.  That's why
I listed myself seperately on the Owner line.
 
However, I think that since I'm also on NetSpace-Admin, I'm put into the
"quiet" group, so I don't get notification about every command.  I'm not
sure why else I wouldn't get notification -- it worked before I added the
quiet: tag.
 
Should I list my primary owner address differently from my address as it's
listed in netspace-admin?  I could be [log in to unmask] for ownership, and
[log in to unmask] for subscription to netspace-admin -- I'll get email at
both addresses.  Or is there a more elegant way to do this?

    Someday we're going to look back on all this and tape over it.
