That would not make any difference; there would still be a blurb at the bottom of every message, under whatever .sig someone uses. It would not make much sense to change the URL; this list is, after all, not hosted at Brin-L.com. AFAIK, that suggestion was never even mentioned, except perhaps in some off-list communication between me, Julia and Eileen. But feel free to contact me if you want to move the list to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"... :-) Jeroen "Brin-L Scapegoat And Doormat" van Baardwijk _________________________________________________________________________ Corrupted-World-of-Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
