- ! Jim, I am sorry but I have to ask you to take down this server as soon as
- ! possible. LISTSERV is available free of charge to CREN/NetNorth/etc. sites,
- ! but by leaving CREN one forfeits the right to use this license.
- ! I thought you knew about that, since this had been mentioned many times on
- ! the NODMGT-L list.
- ! You will surely understand that I can make no exception,
- ! or other sites that leave BITNET would start demanding the same...
