Every single LISTSERV(R) list in AOL's list directory (http://ifrit.web.aol.com/mld/production/index.html) points to the above page. How many subscribers does AOL have? If just a small percentage of the AOL subscribers follow those directions without realizing that it is an _example_, that's still a lot of people. Francoise
