   Most list owners probably agree with you. The behavior of this site was
recently discussed on this forum and reading that debate might be
informative. Below is a database search job which will send you back that
thread.
   The debate ceased abruptly without resolution. I mailed the Demon
representative, and he mentioned that he wasn't subscribed to LSTOWN-L,
despite the fact that his messages were being posted to this forum. (I
personally find this frustrating.) Apparently many opinions expressed were
never received by him. Furthermore, he said that Demon is continuing to
find a way to accomodate the needs of list owners. I suspect that is just
lip service, but it's more than any other Demon administrator had given me
in the past.
   How I've dealt with this situation as a list owner is also mentioned in
the thread, and I regret the necessity to impliment such a policy.
   Good luck.
