Matt: I was not criticising this list for lack of features as it has allthe bells an whistles...... I was saying that the Listbot (no hasslelists) do not. I guess I over reacted to all this list admin nonsense..... Ifilter all list traffic to it's own folder so I catch all the adminstuff directly under my nose on my inbox as it doesn't originate fromthe list. This list was working just fine the way it was before you changedover to Matonics... I don't honestly know the reason for the change...it doesn't bother me though. What I find irritating are the littleepistles on proper list ettiquitte, enclosures, fund raising, etc....We all know proper list ettiquette I would hope by now.... please savelectures for those who need them. If you feel the need for monthlypostings of list ettiquette and an annual fund raiser you can includeme out. I have several (8 to be exact) mailing lists up and running, andthey require NO admin work at all.... Once configured they simply runthemselves.... nolabor, no cost, no unsolicited advertizing....nothing. None of theother lists I participate in have any intervention by the listadministrator whatsoever. I havebeen on Robert Comperini's list (Fly-ULwhich is an exception to thisas he seems to feel the need to intervene.... the same is true ofKevin Hester's AirSoob list though to a lesser degree... I no longerparticipate in either of these. If you are haveing administrative problems and it is requiring agreat deal of time and effort I suggest a different list server. I can't expect you not to be offended by this post..... It cannotbe written in a manner which is totally inoffensive. But it at leastis an attempt to express my feelings honestly about the matter. This list has been an enjoyable and useful forum. H.W.-----Original Message-----
