But hey, I'm procmail filtered, so when a dozen copies of my message hit
the list, 11 will go to /dev/null here, but all dozen will hit the
livingston people until they fix it :)

Ducking for cover as MegaZone the giant stomps my way.

Really, after a 12 hour work day, a couple hundred email messages, and
dealing with brain damaged hardware and lusers who aren't quite broken
yet, do you expect us to think before posting?

Actually, if who were allowed to list members, I'm sure someone (I've been
known to do it) would have forged the unsubscribe and emailed the person
responsible for the dupes to let them know how broken their gateway was.
