You're making unsupported accusations of malfeasance.
I don't mean to accuse anyone of anything. I just want to note that any manipulation of list content, *if* it ever occurs, is not acceptable (aside from spam filtering). Of course I can never prove anything along these lines and any naming will only result in creating life long enemies, and no benefit to me of any kind. You are right that misconfigurations and incompetence could be confused with mailing list content manipulation. I have tried "directly contact the owner" too in at least one case that I can think of and received no response -- maybe the fellow was too busy, or sick or dead or something (but still active on the same mailing list, somehow). -- Aaron Watters === He's a humble man, with good reason. - Churchill, on a colleague -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
