I have something similar, but I found that putting it as a top banner rather than a bottom banner increased compliance. There is more chance that a subscriber will actually see it while composing their reply. However, I did have the "please" in there, and compliance is nowhere near 100% so I'm dropping the "please" to see if compliance rates increase. I did notice that the posting rules for the list were followed more often once I removed all the Please... from the rules. :-) -- Karen Reznek head listowner -- Asperger Director -- ICORS
