Ditto!! I was going to write the above myself.  Someone told me I could
put a filter on my email to route this list server mail to a separate
folder, but I haven't had any luck yet.  (I'm using Netscape 3) I have
to sort thru email to find the stuff that needs immediate attention
now.  I imagine that's the reason people drop this list.  When I leave
town for a week or two, I have to unsubscribe or I'll have a mess when I
return.  I can always go to the archieves.
