If A didn't tell someone in authority to change the above (say he gets creamed on the freeway), then it still goes back to the one person who is ALWAYS the arbitrator/judge/decision maker. The LISTSERV manager. Were I presented with such a situation, I'd hold the list, change the header to take anyone but me out, and leave it like that until some higher authority (whoever such jerks would whine to) decides it. I'm not about to get caught in the middle of a pissing match between jerks, and I certainly don't want some listwar reflecting adversely on my institution. cheers dan -- Dan Lester, 3577 East Pecan, Boise, ID 83716-7115 USA 208-383-0165 [log in to unmask] http://www.84.com/ http://www.idaholibraries.org/ http://library.boisestate.edu/ http://cyclops.boisestate.edu/ http://www.lili.org/ http://www.postcard.org/ Sent me a postcard of a library yet?
