Well, I must now apologize. Several events took place on friday that were it of my control - so I maintain that the problem was not specifically my fault. The is one other persons here who are learning how to use listserv - and they were playing around - console logs were lost - the forwarding procedure was corrupted - and theat caused me to not know what was going on. So sorry for any sh*t I may have dispelled onto the list. Let's just chalk this one up to have a truly bad week! The end result is that I resolved the problem friday evening... and everything is back to normal. Also, as a final note: could I kindly suggest that if people have a problem with a LISTSERV then they should contact the POSTMASTER for the LISTSERV and not the POSTMASTER for the node - because in this case the non-LISTSERV postmaster knows nothing about listserv - and even gets uptight at the mention of it's name. Sorry for the problems caused on the net... - Michael Gettes, Boston University
