Please be patient. It only took a few years for the list admin to start trying to reduce SPAM. Let's not try to rush him into anything. After all, who knows what kind of useful information could be lost if virus laden messages were to be blocked from transmision to their intended recipients. Of course, this list admin also feels that it's OK to tell someone that you don't care what they have to say on anything, except one question that you're asking (list open to non-subscribers). > Where are the unsub instructions btw ? According to 'http://wget.sunsite.dk/#mailinglists', all you have to do is send an E-mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Good luck. Peter Ashford
