In response to the suggestion made by Chris, I would like to point out that the right address for such requests is ---------------------------------- utchinese-request@csri.utoronto.ca ---------------------------------- The difference of these two addresses is that the former is sort of a broadcasting station. Mail sent to this address will be AUTOMATICALLY sent to all people in the utchinese mailing list and to ut.chinese, a local news- group, while mail sent to the latter address is received ONLY by the person who is responsible for maintaining the mailing list. Once a message reaches the former address, even the caretaker of the mailing list cannot keep it from propagating to all recicpients(Sorry, Chris, :-). Such messages waste not only some valuable computing resources, but also many netters' invaluable time. So ... For everyone's sake, please send sign-on/sign-off messages to the correct place: ---------------------------------- utchinese-request@csri.utoronto.ca ---------------------------------- Wenyi Song songw@csri.utoronto.ca (temporary caretaker)
