When I find someone posting with the same name, obviously the same person - from a second account - I sign that second address up to hwy61-l, set it to nomail, mail them and call it a service. The original message though, as posted to hwy61-l (and therefore to rec.music.dylan) spoke to the idea of subbing to a free service with a *dummy name*, getting one's hwy61-l at that address, then posting via rmd. Though it didn't directly say so, the implication was that when one posted to rmd, one would not be subscribed. Here's the original post: >1.

Experience with masses of posts daily coming to me for review tell me that it means something else. Maureen HWY61-L
