Considering myself an "oldies" on the net, having been communicating over forty years, I can assure everyone how red-faced I am. Then again it may be that being around for so long, makes one forget that one should _never_ address commands (such as WHO (not whois), SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, HELP, etc...) to the list itself but to the listSERV (usually majordomo or some such, in this case [EMAIL PROTECTED]). My query does also reveal my curiosity as to in whose company I find here - and for that I also apologize (as that should normally be done in background, between just the listSERV and one, preserving lurker ident :-). Back to lurking-mode in the hope that someone in power to cause change will emerge and identify him/her-self. "It is a miracle that curiousity survives formal education."
