I agree. I also like the fact that I recieve mail about 5000 times
faster than news. It can take up to a day for a news message to
get around and sometimes longer.

I think the solution it to fix the listserv software. I'm probably
opening myself up to all kinds of problems but I'll volunteer
our listserv for the purpose. Or Tim could put up a listserv on
his AIX machine which will work much more reliably than whatever is
going now.
