Well, this makes the question of 'Why and how someone should be banned' very different indeed, doesn't it? This is also not what I understood the role of the listowner to be. Is this an accurate analogy? If it is, then the list isn't what I thought it was. That's not negative, merely a statement of fact. Oh yeah, thanks for changing the subject line. VERY much appreciated. :) Jon
