No. Look, I have already spent a LOT of time providing a mechanism for people who leave the network to have the addresses changed. Now what you're asking for is a mechanism to allow people who leave the network and haven't got an ounce of organization to cover up their mistake after the fact. Why should I spend my time in that fashion? If you're so disorganized that you can't even announce your new node 2 weeks in advance, you deserve the troubles you get. And, by the way, what NAD? If the node is gone, it hasn't got a NAD any longer. > Or, maybe a keyword that can prevent this kind of double kill, >perhaps with some sort of option to tell LISTSERV if this is a change of >nodename or a delete of all users (requires the NAD to consciously >choose the type of change)? What's wrong with doing ADD after you find out the DEL removed the wrong address? Eric
