Regardless of what ends up happening with this particular situation, I like knowing that the computer gurus in my life are all in their proper places -- that Harold is sitting there keeping everything in Georgia going, that Eric is sitting there waving his magic wand over listserv in general, that my local guru is sitting there doing his best to keep our severely overloaded system chugging along (although I don't care anymore whether he keeps wimpy listproc running -- I finally got so fed up with listproc that I threw up my hands and quit as listowner of my main listproc list). Anyway, I think people like Harold, Eric, and my local guru (Frank Peters) should all be chained to their computers at all times so that we ordinary mortals will feel secure that our net lives will run smoothly. :-) Debate is continuing on ADS-L about the problems of posting from multiple addresses. I hate that all this is happening on the list full of people who don't know much about net life. Words-L subscribers are almost all quite net savvy; many ADS-L subscribers still don't even understand what we're talking about and are sending me mail asking what they "should do" when they are single-address people with no reason to "do" anything. <sigh>. --Natalie ([log in to unmask])
