Actually, Kris is referring to ppl sending in a subscribe message, but not sending back a confirmation ... the list moderator has the ability to approve such requests, which I general do when I clean out the lists ... the problem is that I know that I've had issues where that confirmation mail gets lost as spam (ie. Yahoo's spam features send it to the bulk mail folder, that I've had experience with ppl losing emails in) ... But, if Kris wants me to stop, that's cool ... there are other lists I don't touch ... ---- Marc G.
