Except for weird lists like words-l, of which I'm a co-owner, I can't imagine running a list these days without semimoderation as described above. When I get the same subject line of spam for twelve lists, I just bulk delete without even checking .... though may look at one to know who to serve off.....in case they ever reuse that phone address. but the forwarding of other things to the list is quick and easy....as is the ok cookie for the filtered usenet gateway. cyclops Dan Lester, Network Information Coordinator Albertsons Library, Boise State University, Boise, Idaho 83725 USA [log in to unmask] http://cyclops.idbsu.edu/ How can one fool make another wise?
