IBM-MAIN has an alternative that's not available to most newsgroups: If you are completely off topic, you can choose to respond to this newsgroup, but not to this listserver. Still use the OT: prefix as lots of us read messages via the newsgroup, and reply to the listserver. But don't post OT messages to the listserver. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
