Let me get this straight. You're pissed off about *ONE* email a month per list subscribed to? One? Just one? That's it? And not only is it just one but it is one that is *EASILY FILTERABLE*!!! I just want to be asolutely clear on that. You're pissed off about one easily filterable message per month. Which, I might add, represents a very nice automatic way of culling bad addresses so the list(s) you're subscribed to are more effcient, run faster and have fewer problems. That about sum it up? > Packages that provide services to users should default to settings that make > the user experience pleasant. I fail to see how a default which helps greatly in the effciency and maintainability of the list at the "expense" of one message a month is anything but making the user experience plesant. -- Steve C.
