I can follow all of the list action pretty closely, as far as I know I get
all the emails. I have been on the list for over a year now but I mostly
lurk in the backround. I have sent some replies out to other questions but
I have sent out more questions than I reply to. The funny thing is that
with my last post I think that I got almost as many reponses as I have ever
gotten from my 20 to 30 other questions combined. Thanks to everyone out
there who let me know they at least get my email.

LEAVING THE LIST
================
To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a command to remove you from the list. The list
manager controls who belongs to the list.
For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------
From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: <not needed>
UNSUBSCRIBE
--------------------------------------------------------------
