After the recent discussion about 'standards' on either the lstown-l, or
the list-owners list (I can't remember which, and I delete that
discussion), I would like to know which of the standards apply here.
For example, you can add two people with different cases ([log in to unmask]
and [log in to unmask] are two different subscribers), but you can't delete
them singly (if you ask to delete mmouse, both mmouse and MMouse get
unsubed), but, as shown below, not only does it not care about case, it
doesn't care about domain/machine names). Aghghgh.
Can we settle on a standard, any standard, as long as it is standard, and
everything fits into that stardard. This is beginning to look like
Microsoft, if we can't make it fit to the standard, we'll make our own. :)
(no offence to the Lsoft team, or anyone who works at MS, really)

CPU time: 0.031 sec
Overhead CPU: 0.031 sec
CPU model: 200MHz Pentium Pro (192M)

Again, my point is, if you can subscribe this as two people, why can't you
unsubscribe as two people...... I am going nuts, and I know I am not the
only one.
