|My poor brainfoggy pwc's (people with CFIDS, chronic fatigue and |immune dysfunction syndrome) would be TOTALLY upset to find themselves |set to nopost! I could never convince them they hadn't done something |"wrong" and been "disciplined". The purpose of NOPOST (which might just as easily be REVIEW) is to force a dialog between the subscriber and the list-owner INSTEAD OF the subscriber and list -- "why aren't I receiving list mail?; is the list working?" with followup to on-list responseS. The forced dialog between subscriber and owner is meant to unexpurgate the list, subscriber, and owner interactions. And depending upon the nature of the owner-subscriber interaction, may even resolve future problems, and/or assist them with retrieving recent postings that were not previously delivered. I prefer NOPOST since I use REVIEW for other more "normal" reasons. Needless to say, YMWV. Pete Weiss at Penn State
