About a year ago, I tried to set up a weekly and monthly "reminder" post using the Probe function, as described in the manual. I encountered the same problem you did: only the lurkers got them. The active members, who needed the netiquette reminders the most, never saw them! I asked about it three times on this list but got no response. I finally gave up, and since then I've been sending the reminders manually. steve ============================== H.
