Well, I think I'm not completely stupid, and I've done some thinking about this problem, but this was the first indication I had that majordomo would give you a list of the subscribers, or that that is a possible way to get yourself off the list. To judge by the other messages on the list, I'm not alone, so you can't call it an open and shut case. But the idea's good, and I'll add it to the weekly message I sent to -questions. > Not the best of first impressions, and certainly one which will > stick with me for awhile.

It wasn't nice of him to carry on flaming once people had helped him, though. Greg
