However, it is info that we will send via the list on a regular basis, just to 'remind' folks. (Similar to USENET policy re: FAQs.) I'd like them to get the info, even if they don't read it. That way, we have a safeguard against list abuse. "Hey, it was in the FAQ you got when you signed up...." It is a pretty small list so far (Under 60) and the sign ups are 1-3 a day at most. I suppose it is possible for me to forward the info manually. I'd like to have listserv do it though..... Peace, no .sig for me, thanks.
