[comp.sys.apple] Misguided server requests

Well I have taken your first suggestion and have requested that the general
users guide to the LISTSERV server be sent to info-apple.  As to your
second suggestion, I agree that it should be sent almost everyday from seeing
the number of errors that appear in my mailbox everyday which on the average is
about 10/day. However, I don't think that most users will appreciate getting
instructions on how to send commands everyday.  I haven't had a chance
to read info-apple in a while so I don't know what kind of discussion has
been going on but I know that Murphy Sewall has been keeping me informed
and has been sending almost weekly posts telling users how to use the
server.  I hope that it is helping some people.
     If you have any specific problems send them directly to me or it may
not get answered.  I tend to answer personal mail first then when I get
a chance to read info-apple, I answer those.
