My vote for reopening screen-l: go for it. if the looping happens again, people can easily call up a directory and do a "mass delete." It was an isolated incident, anyway. About activist postings, I really appreciate them. If nothing else, interested people can get connected with that bulletin board and subscribe for themselves. Besides, all the activist postings have been related to media, so I think they fit SCREEN-L just fine. My excuse for being so quiet on the net is that I've been finishing and defending my thesis! As for other people, I think some are travelling to SCS, and are therefore away from their terminals. Cheers! Cassandra Van Buren
