I imagine that any listowner who has repeatedly cajoled, pleaded, begged that subscribers stop the totally useless wholesale quoting has at times wished for that. I certainly have, though I've never asked for it. Of course, the subscribers will NOT like it. Used to have a particular local gateway subbed to AUTOCAT which routinely returned as an error any posting which contained 65% or more quoting. *Lots* of error messages from that site. Douglas
