Seriously, thank you for all the work you put in on this and other lists. Exactly why you do it when you have to put up with such a motley crew is beyond me. None the less, I am the richer for it and very grateful. If you would kindly provide a street address for "~someuser/cgi-bin/whatever.pl", I am sure a local L-U member can go and give the responsible parties a near death experience that just may be the salvation of them.
