Hi, I have been a listowner/co-listowner for several years, but only now do I have a list that I started and of which I am the sole listowner. There are slightly over 460 subscribers. A number of my subscribers are on internet free mailers, hotmail, juno, yahoo, etc. I personally don't like the "bottom banners" carrying the advertising of these types of mailers. It is also against my stated policy in which I do not allow advertising. I don't want to exorcise all of those who use this type of mailer, but I wonder if it is possible for LISTSERV to detect and delete the banners. I use a bottom banner on my own list and I would rather that it be the only one. If not possible now, would you please add this idea to the suggestions to be considered in the future. As I think of this, there is somewhat of a problem about reply messages carrying even my bottom banner forward which is then re-added by LISTSERV. Perhaps that could be eliminated by stripping bottom banners, also. Barbara Passmore
