Dr. Jim Knighten e-mail: jim.knigh...@sandiegoca.ncr.com Senior Consulting Engineer NCR 17095 Via del Campo San Diego, CA 92127 http://www.ncr.com Tel: 619-485-2537 Fax: 619-485-3788 ---------- From: Rich Nute Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 1998 5:59 PM To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: THANK YOU: Frank Goto To: All subscribers to the IEEE emc-pstc listserver. From: Roger Volgstadt, Ed Price, Richard Nute Subject: THANK YOU, Frank Goto We do our best not to post non-technical, administrative messages. But, occasionally we must make some announcements as to the status of our operation, problems, policies, and such. Today, we are posting a different kind of administrative message: We are recognizing one of our subscribers. Frank Goto, is not only a subscriber, but one of our two listserver administrators. Frank is moving on to other things. The listserver admin job is to maintain a 100% valid e-mail address list. As many of you know, each new address is tested by our admins before we add it to our list. But, this is not the only job. Many subscribers move without notifying us. Often, servers go down which make addresses look invalid. IT departments change your default address without telling you! For these and other reasons, our listserver, majordomo, bounces these undeliverable messages back to our admins. We get up to 100 such bounce messages a day from our 730 subscribers! Some bounces are valid, some are not. Each message must be read, and a decision must be made as to what must be done. (We reduce the load by splitting it between two admins.) Despite what appears to be an overwhelming job, each admin, including Frank, that has served has said it was a personally rewarding activity. Through it, we get to meet our subscribers, who are a marvelous bunch of professionals! Our subscribers are in many, many countries. E-mail has no special traits to show you the country location of whoever posts a message. Administering our listserver can be done from anywhere in the world. And so it is with Frank. Frank has done his job from Japan! I have been very fortunate in having the opportunity to meet Frank face-to-face in Japan earlier this spring. (I've not yet met Ed Price who is right here in San Diego!) So, for all the good work for the past year or so, a big THANK YOU! to Frank! And we wish you the best! With best personal regards, Rich ps: Our replacement admin is Jim Bacher. pps: go...@a-pex.co.jp go...@mint.or.jp --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
