You're forgetting that John, the polite sole that he is, would include at the start of his post "I'm not subscribed to this list, could you please Cc me directly, thank you." And on seeing those words, Kai would 'F' and then 'C-T'. IMO, anyone who posts to a list that they aren't subscribed to and doesn't include something similar to the above, doesn't deserve to get a reply. --=20 |---------------------| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |---------------------------------------|
