Bob - How true. I have a policy on the lists that I own...test messages are forbidden and people who send more than one are removed from the list. If somebody thinks that a list is not working, they should contact the list owner directly and off-list, not waste everybody's time and bandwidth by sending test messages to the list. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Clark Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2007 6:37 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: test Sandy, Most likely people are sleeping. Its interesting how often people will send test messagres to various lists when they recieve no mail for a few hours. ;) Its a sign that they need a life away from the computer.
