If you mean me - thanks, Danny; I love you too. 1. Any test messages, which I've sent, reached the list several hours (some even more than 24) after submission - and I had no idea at all until then, that it'll finally appear on the list. 2. Any "warnings" I've received - I've received several hours *after* I've sent last message. 3. I really don't know any other way to test, whether the mail will reach the list, than... to just send it to the list. Perhaps you - smart guy, as I can see - will tell me different way "to test access to the list without sending anything to the list". > As test messages grew, > It was found that the crew, > On misc@ were all really pissed! 4. It's really a pity, that *all* (?) of you prefer to see my difficulties as some kind of "bad will" or "list abuse"; and nowhere could I see a message like: "perhaps he needs some help?". I don't want to believe, this is usual attitude among OpenBSD community members. Really unbelievable. 5. What a nice, helpful and kind man you are, "dennyboy". Your mother should be so proud, indeed. Just out of curiosity: what really a difference can you see between my tests - and this, for example, thread, whish is just about nothing ("limericks")? I can see at least one: I *had* to make some tests, I was in contact with the list admin - but you don't have to show off here, with your "poetry". Seems, you want to. That's the second - and last - explaining from my side. I want to add, that such (over)reaction of several persons is very disappointing to me. -- pozdrawiam / regards Zbigniew Baniewski
