Hi all, > Anyone know how or why I was recently removed from the list? I now understand how and why this happened and pass my experience on that it may help others. I connect to the Net via a dial-up PPP connection and was unable to get on the net for a while (about 3 weeks) due to workload. Bee-L received messages saying 'unable to deliver after 8 days' and I was removed from the list under the reasonable presumption that my machine 'was no more'. Other mail delivery problems could have the same effect. This sort of cleaning up is pretty much a standard procedure on mailing lists, so accidents like this will happen occasionally. Initially I was puzzled because the 'perpetrator' appeared not to be at albany and I was concerned about possible interference, so I did not contact them until I knew they were an owner. -- Gordon Scott [log in to unmask] 100332,3310 on CompuServe Newsletter [log in to unmask] ditto Beekeeper, Kendo Sandan, sometime sailor.
