Hello all,

I have good news and bad news.  The good news is physhare is prospering.
The bad news is the number of users and traffic is causing an administrative
problem for me.  We have approximately 250 members.  Sometimes people
subscribe and do not keep up with their mail.  When the disk allocation on
thier host machine is reach, physhare messages are rejected.  Every time a
message is rejected, I get the message.  The listserv program tries to
resend these messages which sends more mail to my mailbox.  Then we have
Internet nodes which go down resultingin more returned messages to my
mailbox.  I am now getting 50-100 of these messages daily.

Starting this week I will delete users when I begin to receive error
messages.  Please don't take this as a sign you are unwelcome.  If you are
deleted for some reason, just resubscribe to the list when your problem is
corrected.

I'm sure you will know something is wrong if you go a week or two without a
physhare message.

Dave Popp
list owner
