In article <[log in to unmask]>, you say: > >2. Get approval of Listserv list readers.

(A variation of this is occuring when I post to ESL-TECH -- consequently I don't post certain articles since I don't want them on PSUNEWS. This warning might be necessarily so that inadvertant violations of Bitnet/ Internet usage guidelines does not occur. Alternatively, perhaps a new LISTSERV subscription/usage option, on a userid basis, could be created so that the individual could prevent his/her LISTSERV distributions from being gatewayed?)
