Ah !!, OK I am beginning to understand this, Where the confusion lies, is that the message that was sent to me had on its headers with the list address (as though the whole list got that message), unlike before which had the administrative listserv address for the "ok" confirmation. Thanks, your message is a relief, although I need to see the list behaviour further to understand greater. Thanks you.
