My problem is (was, I hope) that I seemed to be getting posts from both "peered" lists, and was subscribed to the SEARN.SUNET.SE one under an address which no longer exists. I've now spoofed my old address and unsubbed from that one; if you're reading this I presume that it didn't unsub me from PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM as well . . . > > I have a vague memory that this has been discussed before, but I > > can't find it in the archives.
