Ask any listserv (TELL LISTSERV) --
 
     show nad sscvax.cis.mcmaster.ca
 
You'll find that wucolin is the Network ADministrator.  NADs, by
definition, are allowed to delete userids originating at their node (or
:internet. equivalent) from REMOTE lists.  If the list is "protected",
they might need a personal password assigned to them on the remote
LISTSERV (not list) i.e., PW ADD pswd; and then reference the PW.
 
If I sent the following to listserv@osuvm1
 
     DEL * *@PSUADMIN PW=xxxx
 
from my NAD account on PSUADMIN, it would delete all PSUADMIN and
OAS.PSU.EDU userids from all lists maintained on OSUVM1.  (Don't do
it unless you mean it).
