        Thank you, I think that it is WONDERFUL that listserv makes
the domain-name insensitive (converts it to all upper case), but is
this problem that has been stated actually there?  I had two aliases
to this account ([log in to unmask], and [log in to unmask]), but
there is nothing to say that those two aliases DO point to one
account, those could be two entirely diffrent people, just as
[log in to unmask] could be a diffrent person than [log in to unmask]  Is
the case sensitivity issue ignored as Pauline is sugesting, and if so
how quickly could it be fixed?
