It appears that the software on LISTSERV@BITNIC is now suspect. I have spoken with Eric and we both agree that it is time to reinstall LISTSERV and I will be doing it since the NIC folks are down in D.C. The whole situation is rather unfortunate considering its a no win situation. I guess we could point fingers and do some name calling -- but that serves no purpose, time to grin and bear (sp?) it and put things back together. So, hang in there... Oh, and if I were to point any fingers it would *NOT* be at any of the current NIC staff (just to be clear). /mrg
