Thanks Kevin.

	I did in fact send a msg to the address listed and only posted to the list
when I got a returned mail.

I am continually amazed at the number of list police that pop up over one
post of mine, but don't say a word about half a dozen or so copies of posts
with the demand "unsubscribe me" rudely tacked to the end. I have to assume
that it's my breath.

	Since I already get enough mail, I simply add folk to my filter when they
do that. Anyone who wants to add me to their filter, please ask for
instructions. Saves a lot of grief both ways.

	For those who don't know it, bandwidth costs some people money. Not me, but
I remember when it did. Folk who send multiple copies of unsub requests
deserve the harshest treatment possible. I was -way- too mild with this one.
But then... you should have seen what I sent to the fake address.....
