Programs still should be sent to apple2-l and not my address, even though the mail will just be routed to me. This way if I decide to change the account that I want the mail routed to, I can do so and not affect anyone on the list. > >On the notion of an INET peer site.

The bouncing mail is getting out of hand here. I have spent several hours just trying to clear out the 500 or so files generated the other day when the robot at psuvax1 "exploded." Chris
