i have done so. please look to EARN-NOG.
LISTSERV excpects

i tried to do so, but NETSERV refused it !

i'm very sorry that i have forgotten to mail to you explicitely, that i had
to build a second NODUPD within one month. anyway this had to been done on
friday evening, saturday and sunday, because i have to leave tomorrow
morning for crete. also this was a single event, and i will not do this again
in the future, even if someone asks for it because it took me very much time.
