   They have had problems for over a  week, I think.  Each time I resend
the error messages myself, they go through.  I have checked to make sure
that they are really going there, and they are.  Everyone please note.
 
   Permit me to have an attitude  in favor of listowners not jumping the
gun and deleting people at the sign of the first error, but, then again,
as I was  reminded by private mail recently, there  is probably no point
in arguing over how much someone should care for or about the lists they
manage to be responsible as it is a very subjective matter.
