Subject: Sending requests to the list at large and other administrivia
Recently, a number of people have requested to be removed by sending
mail to the list as a whole. This is very bad practice.
First of all, the address info-nets-request exists for that purpose.
In fact, the -request convention is standard throughout the arpanet,
to solve this problem.
Secondly, sending mail to the list reaches at least 300 recipients,
very likely more than that, since I have no idea how large the various
redistribution lists are (there are perhaps 250 actual addresses on
the top-level list).
Thirdly, there is no reason why info-nets mail should go to the same
addresses. For all anyone knows, I don't read info-nets (in fact, I
do; it would be poor practice not to), the mail goes to completely
independent addresses (this is in fact true), or I may have written a
program to automatically process requests (I haven't). It is still
more convenient to me to process requests to info-nets-request than to
info-nets.
So, please remember to post administrative requests to
<list-name>-request rather than to <list name>; specifically
info-nets-request rather than info-nets.
I deliberately have not yet processed the requests that went to
info-nets rather than to info-nets-request; I would like those people
to read this message.
