As pointed out, 'SET listname REVIEW' will handle a per-user check. However, in ONE place, you say "different categories of users" - which is addressed by the above. However, then you start talking about topics, which is a *different* issue. The problem is that Listserv has no real idea about what the topic of a note is (for instance, I could have easily inserted a 5 page diatribe regarding my opinion of a religious group that I agree or disagree with here, with Listserv none the wiser). Fortunately, close to 20 years of experience has shown that it's usually the same idiots that will post off-topic things no matter WHAT the topic is, so it's not an issue of filtering "LAND USE", it's an issue of filtering the idiots - see 'SET REVIEW' ;) -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
