   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.
