Here's a little pointer for future reference: Your message (see above) was distributed to every subscriber to SCREEN-L, adding to general Internet clutter. Then I had to manually erase your account. There's a simpler, cleaner way to depart from most mailing lists. Many Internet mailing lists are run by a piece of software called LISTSERV. To get on or off such a list, you just send mail to LISTSERV, which handles all that bureaucratic business automatically. Rather than sending mail to the list itself, as in your message above, you e-mail LISTSERV and you put the following in the first line of the message: signoff name-of-list or unsubscribe name-of-list or even just unsub name-of-list Hence, with SCREEN-L, you would e-mail [log in to unmask] (not [log in to unmask]) and put this in the first line: signoff screen-l No muss, no fuss. Yours in tidier Internetting... ======================================================================= Jeremy Butler [log in to unmask] SCREEN-L Coordinator [log in to unmask] Telecommunication and Film Dept. * University of Alabama * Tuscaloosa * =======================================================================
