I am learning about the 'still use the list on vacation' aspect, which is
indeed, a good thing.

Whenever I have unsubed, and the resubscribed, it has taken a matter of
minutes and not even an hour. I think it is automated if it works that
fast. Never had to wait long at all, although I now see the advantage of
'nomail' anyway and I will keep it in mind.

I usually hop off the list when I am swamped elsewhere, or someone is
draggin us all down to OT hell :)  (never did that myself tho.........
<g>)

Thanks for the info.
