I proposed the "subscriber list"/"kill list" solution previously and
dropped out of sight because of my work load.
I find your solution intriguing ... are you saying that the poster's
list functions correctly after applying your technique? That
anyone on the poster's list can post ... whether they are a
subscriber of the list or not? (I'd test this myself but am
away from my machines for the weekend and can't test
myself ... BUT I CAN'T WAIT ... TELL ME, TELL ME!)
8-) thanks. (at least web messaging keeps me in the loop)
