  And how do you keep junk mail (in your opinion, which may vary from mine)
from your US Mail box??  This has nothing to do with privacy.

  Good.  That already puts you ahead of half the folks, who conveniently
post their unsub to the list.

  I assume you mean the postings on the new versions of LISTSERV and
L-MAIL.  The only ERIC that I know of is the Educational Resources
Information Center, and its related indexes to the literature of education,
ERIC.
 
  If you had READ your junkmail, you'd notice that it was NOT posted to
this list....though it was posted to those who are ON this list.  If you
don't want anyone to know your email address, don't send any mail from it,
or join a list, or anything else.  Guess that would make you the consummate
lurker....
 
cyclops, who also wants to know how to make sure ALL postings in the
         various fora I peruse are relevant to my needs at that instant..
         how about a psychic newsreader????
