(: of course, there is a page on the web site. :-) There's also instuctions sent when you join the list, which most people save and use when they need them. There are now two different help files full of helpful instructions and common errors that get sent automatically if you try to use the subscription server but make a mistake. There are many helpful people who will be happy to answer an email from some "lostsoul" who asks politely, people who's email addresses should be pretty obvious to anyone on the list. There's even a filter that checks posts sent to the list to see if someone is sending a subscription request to the wrong place, and routes them to the subscription server. That seems to get 99.99% of the people through the process just fine. Unfortunately, there's always a few who can't figure it out no matter how much help they're offered, and I usually end up helping them manually when I do list maintenance once a week. But then at the very bottom there's always someone who manages to be a jerk to everyone while not managing to go to the slightest amount of effort on their own, and instead sends irritating messages to the entire list. Welcome to the human race, eh? You get some of everything. I usually let that latter category suffer for a while, just for my own sadistic pleasure.... >:-) kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
