I just tried to set LSTOWN-L to NOACK, and was told > > set lstown-l noack > You are not subscribed to the LSTOWN-L list. But I _can_ post to the list from this version of my address (as you can tell because you're reading this). I'd always assumed that if I could post to a private list, LISTSERV knew who I was . . . apparently not. Why should this be? -- Russ __|~_ Russell A.
