Your post was the first I saw of it, but the media, including computer related is still treating it as news even this afternoon. A huge list like this with that posting as far back as it is (thanks for the post, by the way), may be something we don't all do before asking a question. Especially if one comes here after hearing it elsewhere. thanks Jim

Am thinking of LISTSERV, which includes a SET NOMAIL option to save one the trouble. Wonder if you can do that with Mailman? (Looks.) Yup. -Frank McConnell

Larry Tesler - Computer Pioneer
Heard of death today of Larry Tesler, pioneer worker at Xerox Parc. He advanced the era of human-computer interaction. He 'created' copy- and-paste and cut-and-paste which made everyday computing in DOS-age easier before GUI-age made mouse-driven commands easier on computer users. Early pioneers are leaving us and I state their drive to innovate to advance computer-use easier is being lost. Happy computing all. Murray
