though i've never edited a post and posted it as being from the
original sender (it'd cause a bit of a ruckus out on rec.music.dylan
and hwy61-l...)  i can understand the need to do that on some lists.
but it's one of those things that you just have to figure out a way
to do, if you really want to do it.

hey Eric, could you set up listserv to spit out a silver dollar at me
each time i approve a post? i'm pretty sure it'd be a real popular
feature and look forward to it's implementation. thanks. :-)
