Krawitz" <RLK@oz.ai.mit.edu> To: info-nets@oz.ai.mit.edu Subject: Sending requests to the list at large and other administrivia Recently, a number of people have requested to be removed by sending mail to the list as a whole. This is very bad practice. First of all, the address info-nets-request exists for that purpose. In fact, the -request convention is standard throughout the arpanet, to solve this problem. Secondly, sending mail to the list reaches at least 300 recipients, very likely more than that, since I have no idea how large the various redistribution lists are (there are perhaps 250 actual addresses on the top-level list). Thirdly, there is no reason why info-nets mail should go to the same addresses. For all anyone knows, I don't read info-nets (in fact, I do; it would be poor practice not to), the mail goes to completely independent addresses (this is in fact true), or I may have written a program to automatically process requests (I haven't). It is still more convenient to me to process requests to info-nets-request than to info-nets. So, please remember to post administrative requests to <list-name>-request rather than to <list name>; specifically info-nets-request rather than info-nets. I deliberately have not yet processed the requests that went to info-nets rather than to info-nets-request; I would like those people to read this message. Robert Krawitz info-nets-request
