Several people in my building have expressed interest in joining the entomology discussion groups, of which Bee-l is one. I subscribed about a year ago, without problems. Now, in attempting to give my colleagues assistance in subscribing to this group, I find that the procedure has changed; the original subscription request is answered with a message asking the sender to send an "ok", or if that does not work, to send "ok xxxxxx", where the x's represent a code supplied by listserv. I have tried several times without success to get others subscribed. Replying with the "ok", with or without the code has been unsuccessful. Can someone (listowner?) spell out just what it is that one must do to subscribe? The same message is sent in response to attempts to join other discussion groups as well. The directions seem not to be as well written as they could have been. Thanx in advance for any help.. -- ************************************************************************ Orville G.
