- Okay, I've seen enough of these totally unappropriate, time wasting, mis
- addressed posts.
-
- This newsgroup is bidirectionally gatewayed to the pcgeos mailing list run
- by Pandora. The mailing has a administrivia address *that is different
- from the address that you use to send to the list as a whole*. Use that
- channel for any issues that pertain to the management of the list.
-
- If you don't understand any of this, please read the various periodic
- postings to news.answers, news.newusers.answers, etc. If you can't get
- them the find someone who knows what the right thing to do is before
- subjecting all of the people on the mailing list and over the entire Usenet
- to these stupid, annoying, bandwidth wasting posts.
-
- [I figure that's about medium done...]
-
-
- Mitra, could you please put some kind of filter on the pcgeos-list address
- so that these things stop getting passed on to the newsgroup? I'd suggest
- that you just search for the various conventional keywords for list removal
- and just drop those posts on the floor (or if you'd rather be nice you
- could send the poster a note giving them the correct address to handle
- administrivia business). It might also be helpful if you periodically post
- a mailing list ping posting containing the various helpful mailing list
- tidbits. :-) Thanks bunches.
-
- BTW, is the list immediately passed through (in either or both directions)
- or is it batched up?
-
- Sorry to all of the good people for this post but I'd like for this to stop
- happening right now.
-
- Thank you,
- John

-
- P.S. I post this for all of the tired, over-worked people who'd rather
- spend their time being productive rather than have to wade through
- this crap (i.e., I'm speaking for myself :-). Take care.
