Not to me nor to anybody on any of my lists.

Not much point discussing it.  I have been running mailing lists for about
8 years now.  If someone were to remove this capability from my mailing

asked about the merits of this and I am simply saying that there are
people out there who find it useful.

Are there any that can do this?
