The topics feature is very handy and makes listserv a superior product. But I cannot monitor who has specified what topic; if they are set correctly. If you use a large number of set topics commands, you have no way of knowing if you are introducing tons or error into your list. QUERY WITH does not work with topics. I cannot decode the characters at the end of a GET record. This is a giant hole in listserv capability. Thanks, Sandy
