I have just finished DISCARDING 16 more error messages from LISTSERV because some of the network List Owners (this one was sf-lovers-request) don't know or care enough to use the QUIET with DEL. I would like to propose that QUIET be the default for DEL since I would guess that over 90% of the time a list owner is DELeting a userid which no longer exists. What do you think? ----------- Jim Gerland SUNY/Buffalo Postmaster University Computing Services [log in to unmask] State University of New York at Buffalo [log in to unmask] Buffalo, NY 14260 (716) 636-3557
