Again the  lists business. There  are several  lists with identical  names and
listids but not  making up a chain  of peers - e.g. PROFS-L,  REXXLIST. If you
want to subscribe you're told that  you have to select the appropriate server.
This  in effect  disables  the  automatic SUBSCRIBE  and  SIGNOFF unless  your
LISTSERV (i.e. the  LISTSERV you send the  command to) hosts one  of the peers
for the list.
If the  (non-peer) lists are intended  for local distribution then  why making
them  global?  If indeed  they  are  different from  the  peered  list and  an
identical name must(?) be chosen the why not select a different ListID?
