Hello ,
I am subscribed to a list, and if I send a
SET Baba Topics: -All
and then later
Query Baba
I get
The topics you subscribe to are: None
And yet, if someone sends a message to topic ALL:
I still get that message.
So is it actually impossible to turn off ALL:
(that is, is ALL: really only a pseudo-topic, that is merely a
shorthand way to toggle off all topics (except ALL:) or to toggle on
all topics?).
Is there no possible escape from ALL: ?
I've looked at Appendix B: List Keyword Reference for LISTSERV® version 1.8d
and am yet desperate to escape the clutches of the hegemonic ALL:
as it just doesn't seem right. Why is ALL: considered necessary,
if indeed it is actually compulsory and inescapable?

Best regards,
