RE: Suggested changes to the e-mail format of Grou [7:14263]
I second that last part wholeheartedly! Paul does not get thanked enough for this service. Think of the huge numbers of people worldwide who have received certifications and some excellent free education thanks to this list. Of course, the participants should be thanked as well, but without Paul, the list wouldn't even exist in the first place. Thanks, John Leigh Anne Chisholm 7/30/01 4:29:25 PM No matter what you do, there will always be someone that's not happy with what you've done. The more you try to accommodate, the more work you undertake--and Rule #1 applies again. Someone out there will not be happy with what you've done. Just let it go... save yourself the headaches. If people are that unhappy, let them unsubscribe. It's that simple--and it requires very little work on your part. You do too much already, keeping this going for how many years now? You're an icon in the Cisco community, just because Groupstudy exists. -- Leigh Anne PS. Thank you for all your efforts. You don't hear that enough I think.

Re: Suggested changes to the e-mail format of Grou [7:14263]
Ok, what about [EMAIL PROTECTED] for [EMAIL PROTECTED] . This will look legitimate and should be obvious. The only problem I have with this idea is in Outlook Express the actual e-mail address is hidden if a name is used. In order to edit the e-mail address, you need to view the properties, copy the e-mail address, then paste the e-mail address in the to: field. People may find this to be cumbersome and annoying. Plus many, many people will forget. As of now, I have not received a single negative comment about the idea. Idea #2: How about prepending a line to the message that says something like: Posters e-mail address is: paul98-at-nobody.com and leave the reply address blank/invalid. So if you press reply or reply-all you send a reply back to the list. You need to manually type in the e-mail address from the text in the e-mail to reply to the sender. Again cumbersome but more obvious. Idea#3: Close the list and force people to use their real name to join. Maybe charge a nominal fee forcing the subscriber to give a credit card or some other type of identification. Again, this issue is with people posting via the mailing list or newsfeed. You may always read/reply to this group from a webpage and bypass these problems. The webpage subscription page offers you the ability to type in two e-mail addresses. One for validation/subscription usage and the second as the from: address when posting the message. You can simply choose to give an invalid from: address or not supply any address at all.

Paul Borghese 07/30/01 10:03AM I had a suggestion this morning to change the format of the return address in the e-mail. This will eliminate the autoresponder junk we have been receiving and the countless e-mail worms.

Paul, you could do us all a great service by blasting this guy off the list: Your message Subject: RE: access list w/ prime numbers [7:14117] was not delivered to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] because: User r wilewski (r wilewski@ibmpl) not listed in public Name Address Book it's been going on for months now.
