This would be ideal, as Dan Lester also suggested.

When I find someone posting with the same name, obviously the same
person - from a second account - I sign that second address up to
hwy61-l, set it to nomail, mail them and call it a service.

The original message though, as posted to hwy61-l (and therefore to
rec.music.dylan) spoke to the idea of subbing to a free service
with a *dummy name*, getting one's hwy61-l at that address, then
posting via rmd.

Though it didn't directly say so, the implication was that when one
posted to rmd, one would not be subscribed.

Here's the original post:

It *may* mean post to rmd under your own name/normal address while
also subscribed to hwy61-l from that address too, but ....

Experience with masses of posts daily coming to me for review tell
me that it means something else.
