>They want to complain, but, I'll bet they wouldn't volunteer to run it.

That thought's occured to me, I assure you, but I may be too much of a
control freak to hand it over to anybody.

It turns out that the subscriber list isn't what was four months old, it's
the subscribers' settings that's four months old, so it's not as bad as I
thought.  The nastygram that I got from one guy must have been a virus
spoofing the KRnet admin (somebody on KRnet digest has a virus, and it's
spewing forth junkmail "from" the KRnet admin").  So it turns out that he's
not even on the list, and is hacked off that "I" subscribed him and am now
spamming him with viruses.  Like you say, a giant misunderstanding, with me
the victim.  I'm going to try to take a chill pill and get back to KR work.
Ameet Savant is checking into the Yahoo lists.  That might make a good
"secondary" list where folks can post pictures and stuff like that.  If it
works out OK, maybe we can migrate there.  I just don't want anybody to
start getting spam because of it, but our presence on escribe was just as
bad, so I don't know why I worry about that.  Yahoo supposedly "hides" our
email addresses anyway.  We may just have to try it (in parallel) and see
how it works.  Having just read Wesley's comments, hiwaay.net just started
list services a while back, so that's an option, but I'm already using about
350 meg of disk space, so I'd have to open another account, but that's a
possibility.  I'll think on it, and am open to suggestions still.

I have a Starduster appointment at noon, so that'll really help my outlook.
I've gotten to where I don't think anybody's going to die when I land it
now.

Thanks for the kind words...
