The files in these archives are also known as 'notebook logs'. The second type of archive is called a 'file archive' and basically operates as a file server. If file archives are activated (by creating a file catalog), owners may store files there that were not posted to the list." got that? technically, it may be 'correct', but it is so clumsy as to be 'illiterate', imho >There is one "option" that I have seen on other lists that isn't done here... >When a person sends the unsubscribe request to the list instead of the >listserv, it ought to bounce back to the sender w/message saying it looks >like a command ... >Over the past week, there have been quite a few of those type posts... it seems to me that as soon as i post subscription instructions to the list there is a flurry of requests like these both to the list and to me directly some of them do get caught by the listserv and some don't. i have a semi-automatic "go look at the instructions on the PIEnet site!" message that i shoot back at these types of messages >janet, I'm glad the list is in your hands (til Barb returns) >cause I know I couldn't do it... i've always loved a challenge! janet janet paterson 52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset snail-mail: PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada website: a new voice <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/> e-mail: <[log in to unmask]>
