This attitude completely forgets what the user will have to go through, once subscribed to more than a handful of lists. Such large bulletin boards should be moved to netnews. Large number of them have; more should be. The more that do, the more people will join the net (admittedly not always viewed as a good thing). With any reasonable MUA (and even most unreasonable ones), the users have the ability to reply to the mailing list. *Don't* make them jump through hoops to communicate with individuals. -- Eliot Lear [lear@turbo.bio.net]
