There are lots of other ways a miscreant can misuse an email address. The list's welcoming email contains info on how to unsubscribe. OTOH, I think it IS a good idea to challenge the first posting to the group, as is done now, because posting puts your email address out there on the internet and thus subject to spamming. -- happy Jonathan Berry and Erika http://www.islandnet.com/~jberry/fun.htm
