I think it's okay to have a SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE and a AFD/FUI DEL * (NETWIDE, but is it too much of work for a user, to keep track on what lists he is subscribed to, by himself? I maintain a file like this: *LIST *listname node description *-------- -------- -------------------- . . . LINKFAIL DEARN Liste fuer Link-failure Ankuendigungen LSTSRV-L DEARN Liste fuer Revised LISTSERV *FUI *filename filetype filelist password userid node *-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- LSVTALK PACKAGE LOCSOFT xxxxxxx LISTSERV DEARN *AFD *filename filetype filelist password userid node *-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- *REGISTERED * userid node registered as *-------- -------- ---------------------- . . . LISTSERV DEARN Markus Stumpf LISTSERV FINHUTC Markus Stumpf It is pretty easy to write a XEDIT MACRO and/or a EXEC that deals with SUB's, AFD/FUI ADD/DEL's and that is able to send out SUSPEND's and RESUME's to all the lists I'm subscribed to. So why increase the load of the net by more and more "(NETWIDE" commands? \Maex
