Listserv interprets each line as a new command, and when it gets to #10, BINGO!--the subscriber is served out. I understand the reason for having listserv serve people out, but I do wish that it were so arranged that no more than three lines from any one message counted. Thus, someone would have to send at least four separate invalid messages to listserv before the person was zapped. Anyone can err once or twice--I think being served out should be reserved for the Genuine Klutzes and Dunces. Joan Korenman, WMST-L Listowner KORENMAN@UMBC Univ. of MD.
