In defense of listserv@lenti, occassionally it's gsker@lenti who deletees 
you because those bounces come back to me.  After about 3 messages saying 
"your mail was undeliverable for 3 days" I remove the name from the 
list.  Imagine 3 people whose mail bounces for three days on the vanagon 
list.  Some days there are close to 100 messages on this list, so that 
means that I get 300 messages saying the mail didn't get through -- EVERY 
DAY!. I can't contact you because all I have is your email address.
