Ok, it seems that some "responsible" person (for now) subscribed some lists to a list on a listserv on the internet called gnet. Don't ask me what it has to do with my lists, but can someone tell me who is responsible for this, and how, based on the following information, can I stop postings from being sent to my lists, please? ** Start message I got ** Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1993 12:43:14 -0800 From: BITNET list server at PCCVM (1.7f) <[log in to unmask]> Subject: CURRENTS: error report from DHVX20.CSUDH.EDU To: "Geert K.

For now, let me assume that this person simply made a mistake, rather than a concious decision to do this without asking the list owner(s) of the lists he or she has decided to flood with messages. I am *not* happy about this. ** ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** ** Geert K.
