I would just like to point out the legal saying that "big cases make bad law." We're all irritated by one moron's behavior; that's not necessarily an argument for significant technical or policy changes. By all indications he's gone, and in any case by the end of the day no fewer than four distinct solutions to his violations were posted. Is there evidence that this is a more general problem? Frankly, from my own observation, the more general problem is people who can't grasp the concept of a listmaster, so send messages with "unsubscribe" to the list. That seems easily soluble with a simple script. ap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
