Ok Turgut, I didn't intend to make "bad publicity about the other list
server" and I apologize if it appeared that I did, but since it seems
that you want to play "dirty talking" as you say, no problem, we can do
that if you want.

I suppose, of course, that this is an exclusive prerogative of EARN, and
that *I* never send LISTSERV to new sites, provide fixes to them, enhance
the code, etc. This, and the fact that IBM systems are so easy to take
care of since the inception of SES, is probably the reason why I have so
much time left to make bad publicity about the other server. Turgut, I
think you should seriously consider giving up your job as a full-time
EARN employee working on LISTEARN, and start working as a High Energy
Physics VM/XA systems programmer instead; then you'd have much more time
to work on LISTEARN.

PS: Funny... LISTSERV@CEARN crashed on a corrupted archive disk on the
very note that Turgut sent to LSTSRV-L, held the list, and stopped
working. I had to spend 20 minutes to make a new minidisk, move the
archive files one after the other, check for lost data, etc. Then I
could release Turgut's note. If I had known, I would have gone off
for the weekend instead. After all, taking care of CEARN is not my
job, and it decreases the amount of time I have to make bad publicity
about LISTEARN.
