Re: OT: The Iris Lists

John,

I think ONELIST is working fine.  I just ignore the ads at the end.  

But as you point out, there are some functions of LISTSERV that we won't
get with ONELIST.  In particular, I often used the REVIEW command to get
e-mail addresses to send a private message.  To minimize requests to
John for e-mail addresses, I suggest that everyone who is willing to get
private messages from iris-talk members include their e-mail addresses
in their signature (reminder:  along with their location and zone).
