hi! thanks to each one of you for the helpful suggestions re. the nasty poster. my co-owner and i have decided to banish this poster from the list...he has attempted to circumvent our barring his posting by using a different machine, but that's not really a problem. we will be contacting his sysadmin shortly (with documentation). as was suggested, i will also contact my sysadmin to warn him of the problem. as to the re-runs...apparently, there was some mailer mystery at princeton, but its been fixed. (you all did know these machines run by magic, right?) anyway, thanks for all the helpful suggestions. -linda (ps to nick...you know the next party is in seattle, right?)
