Sure, I'm aware of the many ways in which people could be reading this list while posting to it from an address that is not subscribed. It's just that I had the vague feeling that of late I had seen *fewer* instances where LDOSUBSCRIBER was there and wondered if it there had been some change to show it less often even when poster address *does* match. Perhaps I am wrong and LDOSUBSCRIBER is still working exactly the same. A statistical anomaly, a misperception, or just an increase in people posting from different addresses. I still wonder if there should be some guidance in the list's FAQ. I used to make an effort to Cc: people if there was no LDOSUBSCRIBER but it now seems so common for there to be not, and I did have one person get a bit short with me for copying them. I do think it's fairly common for a non-subscriber to post here and then wonder why no one ever got back to them (they didn't see the replies), but maybe we should just be trusting that the poster knows what they are doing… Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
