Have any of you noticed that a lot of the "Please add me" messages get sent just after each new edition of the list-of-lists comes out? Perhaps only the -REQUEST address should be mentioned in the list (this implies requiring that all lists have a -REQUEST)? This might help just a hair - people hopefully would avoid dropping part of a mailing list name. Of course, there's also the solution of mailing Zippy the Pinhead quotes once a minute to people who send "please add/delete me" messages to the whole damn list... -- Gee, usenet is almost as fast as US mail! andy beals bandy@lll-crg.arpa {ihnp4,seismo,qantel,sun}!lll-crg!bandy LLNL, P.O.
