     There have been too many "please delete" messages sent to
this list, from ninnies, twits, and cretins who refuse to read or
comprehend simple instructions.  Today, there were over a dozen
in my mail file.

     To reiterate: Requests to be ADDED TO or DELETED FROM the
INFO-ATARI list should be sent to:
	INFO-ATARI-REQUEST@SU-SCORE.ARPA
Note the "-REQUEST" in the address, kids.  The same convention is
used in hundreds of other mailing lists.

     If the flow of please delete messages does not stop, I will
set in motion a program that will repeatedly bombard the
culprit's mailboxes with megabytes of junk mail from all
directions, with no obviously discernable means of filtering out
the junk short of deleting all your mail.  If you think your UUCP
or BITNET charges are high now, just wait until I get through
with you.

     Moderator, I suggest that you decline to add any new people
to the INFO-ATARI list until they send you a message (at
INFO-ATARI-REQUEST) containing the following: "Please add me to
the INFO-ATARI list.  I understand that any change in my
membership, including address changes or removal from the list,
is to be sent to INFO-ATARI-REQUEST and not to INFO-ATARI."
