I appologize, if my attempt to share the humor of the situation offended you. I can understand how you, as the author of the LISTSERVer code, might not find any of it humorous. > 2. ... it takes about 6 months for such a change to be ACTUALLY effected I had no way of knowing that and am surprised that it takes that long. > 3. LISTSERV@PSUVM accepted your request, because it was running with the > latest BITEARN NODES with you as NAD for SUNRISE. LISTSERV@PSUVM did *not* accept my FOR <user> SIGNOFF * ( NETWIDE. It only passed it on to 187 other LISTSERVers, even though it did *not* think I was the NAD for SUNRISE. > 4. ... each LISTSERV is running with a local version of BITEARN NODES, I understand that. > ... LISTSERV@PSUVM can't know [how up-to-date the local file is] and > has no reason to reject your request. If LISTSERV@PSUVM insists that I am not the NAD for SUNRISE, why should it pass on my request?
