Hello Helen, HB> FYI, we have very few people (all volunteers) trying to HB> manage a large number of lists and it is a time-consuming and HB> THANKLESS task.
this cannot go uncommented, I think. I do know about what you're talking there, because I made the same experience in other fields, where I am counted on as expert, contributing for free. Just to let you know that I VERY much appreciate all the work that you AND the other volunteers are doing. Without that contribution, given in many places, I would have ended up using another DBMS long ago. And I am quite sure that this would be far less than perfect for me. I am sure that this attitude is true for most others which are on the "taking" side in these mailing lists as well. HB> This particular list has by far the worst HB> "subscriber behaviour" of all lists so it's more of a headache HB> than most. Please don't swallow such things just so, but drop a comment about that. I for one wouldn't even know if I would be doing something that's considered to be bad subscriber behaviour, unless someone would point me to it. Hell... maybe you are talking about just me here :) I know you got a humorous but at the same time forcing style to do so :) André ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
