I have a LISTDEL Xedit that makes a valent attempt to delete someone. Its a little out of date, but if anyone who doesn't already have a copy wants one, drop me a line. (To those of you who already have one, "no, I haven't updated it recently". My copy is dated 07/02/90.) I also have a LISTADD which works on listserv 'Add this person' mail. Please send requests directly to me, and I'll batch up the requests. /ahw
