>I'm having a little trouble subscribing to Apple2-l, could someone please >pass the proper directions to me so that I can get on the list. I shouldn't wonder. Your posts to comp.sys.apple show up here as from a host that the gateway to wisc.edu insists doesn't exist (speedy.wisc.edu)! I have asked the postmaster and the gatemaster at the gateway host about that. In the meantime, see if you can get mail to me. If I can figure out a return address that LISTSERV@BROWNVM won't choke on (daehl@madnix.UUCP?), I'll add you to the list. 1) I'd prefer folks try to sign up using the "robot" (LISTSERV@BROWNVM) before asking Chris or I to do it by hand (we will in cases where you really can't get LISTSERV to recognize you exist :-) 2) Don's problems illustrate the value of appending a .sig to posts to USENET lists. By the time a post has wandered around to all subscribers various gateways often have butchered the return address beyond all recognition.
