FORD" Organization: The ARPA Internet Lines: 19 Does getting these mis-sent APPLE2-L requests clutter your mailboxes as much as mine? I'm not normally a vindictive person, and I realize that everyone has to learn sometime, but there is a limit to even my patience. It would seem logical that these individuals requesting INFO or files from APPLE2-L must have read about the LISTSERVer here on the net and (since virtually every discussion has mentioned the need to address requests to LISTSERV vice APPLE2) so should be aware of the nuissance their mail creates. Posting instructions here seems to be so much wasted time...so, I make the following (admittedly petty) suggestion: those subscribers who feel as I do should forward a copy of the mis-sent mail back to the originator along with a short instructional note as to how to properly address these requests. Receiving a hundred or so replies of this nature might drive home the point. Eric (I know it's petty but I have a cold and my head hurts making me not a very nice person today) *************************************************************************** ------
