While I understand your frustration, and agree with your pre-judgement, I fail to understand why you would read, let along complain about, something that clearly says "PLEASE IGNORE". It's like touching a wall that's marked "Wet Paint", then complain when your hands get dirty. This is something that could, and should have been avoided. The time you took reading, and replying to, this message could've been spent on something else. I've been subscribed to this list for over two years, and never have I done anything that (I thought) would be abusive to other users. I hardly think three test messages, over a period of two+ years, is abusive. It's apparent that I was having issues with the lists. I resolved to that method (of testing), because I felt it was necessary. I knew it would be a little unneasy, and that's why I specifically asked users to 'ignore' the message. Your frustration could've been avoided by simply following instructions. Nevertheless, I do apologize for the trouble this test caused (if any). I know it wasn't the most convenient method, but it was a matter of bad solution vs worst solution. I've done everything (including unsubscribe/re-subscribe, and use ezlm command queries) before sending that test message. FYI (for those who care) I recently started having problems with the list. I was receiving messages, but could not send them. When I checked the ezlm admin commands ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), it said my address was NOT subscribed. Long story short...my server admin changed the server name (added an extra name to the domain), so the list saw the new name as a new address. Old addresses were translated here (on my server), but not in the list. -john On Mon, 31 Dec 2001, Kris wrote: > John wrote: > > > > =Testing= > > Having trouble sending mail... > > =Testing= > > > > Please ignore. > > I *really* want to hurl abuse at you for using a public mailing list to > send test messages to. > > You've sent THREE test messages to the mailing list now, each of which > was sent to THOUSAND AND THOUSANDS of different people.
