Any listowner worth his/he salt reads or at least skims the list at least once a day. Anyone sends an unsbu to the list, I zap them immediately. I know some listowners seem really compulsive about sending the person messages on how to unsub and so forth....I'm on a couple of those lists. But since it usually takes a few iterations to get it thru their heads, I jsut zap them. It is as easy as sending them a form letter, so why not just delete them? >hard it is to use LISTSERV.

True enough, but since I can do nothing about that, I just zap them VERY quickly if their mailbox overflows, etc. They are told that. I just do it the easiest way possible. cyclops Dan Lester Internet: [log in to unmask] Network Information Coordinator Bitnet: ALILESTE@IDBSU Boise State University Library Boise, Idaho 83725 In the kingdom of the blind, the 208-385-1235 one-eyed man is king.
