Perhaps we should form a separate list for owners ONLY! Then people with a problem that they would like to have some sort of mass distribution send their "plea" to this list. I own 3 lists, two of which I would be happy to post the "plea" regarding the MARK TWAIN problem--if I submit the plea with a qualifing statement, I am sure the subscribers would be understanding and helpful to the point of redistributing the information at the local sites. Direct posts of unrelated info to lists is "discouraging/frustrating" to the membership but if it comes from the OWNER who is known, it will be reasonably accepted. The OWNER has a fair insight as to what will be acceptable to his/her membership and has the ultimate responsibility for the "tone" of the list. Just a thought...Phil--- -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |*| PHIL ENDACOTT (PE38) |*| <[log in to unmask]> |*| |*| FACILITIES OPERATIONS |*| <[log in to unmask]> |*| |*| THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS |*| LAWRENCE, KS PH: 913-864-3204 |*| =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
